Autorenporträt
Sir Thomas Little Heath (1861-1940) was a notable British civil servant, mathematician, classical scholar, historian of ancient Greek mathematics, and translator. His scholarly endeavors provide significant contributions to the understanding of antiquity, especially in the realm of mathematics and science. Heath's profound interest and meticulous work in the field of ancient Greek mathematics culminated in his well-regarded expositions of Greek mathematicians. A pivotal work, 'The Copernicus of Antiquity (Aristarchus of Samos),' embodies his comprehensive approach to historical figures, shedding light on Aristarchus's heliocentric theory and arguing for its groundbreaking nature in a time dominated by geocentric views (Heath, 1913). Heath's works often scrutinized the evolution of mathematical thought, translating and commenting on the works of Euclid, Archimedes, and Apollonius. Heath's literary style is characterized by rigorous analysis and clarity, which made the esoteric mathematical treatises of antiquity accessible to modern scholars and enthusiasts alike. His efforts earned him recognition and accolades, both as a translator and as a historical commentator bridging the gap between ancient insights and contemporary understanding.
