"Infinite Secrets," a television program produced for NOVA, airing on PBS, originally broadcast on September 20, 2003.
"Twenty-two centuries after Archimedes wrote his most revealing mathematical work, and eight centuries after a Christian monk erased what may have been the last surviving copy, the lost treatise has turned up and is being deciphered in a Baltimore museum." NOVA's Infinite Secrets reported on the discovery of the manuscript and the modern technology being used to read its content, which scholars believe reveals that Archimedes may have invented calculus. See the program description for more details, read interviews with mathematicians and other resources, and search PBS.org for your local viewing schedule.
