The Works of Archimedes, 9780486420844 (0486420841), Dover Publications, 2002

The complete works of antiquity's great geometer appear here in a highly accessible English translation by a distinguished scholar. Remarkable for his range of thought and his mastery of treatment, Archimedes addressed such topics as the famous problems of the ratio of the areas of a cylinder and an inscribed sphere; the measurement of a circle; the properties of conoids, spheroids, and spirals; and the quadrature of the parabola. This edition offers an informative introduction with many valuable insights into the ancient mathematician's life and thought as well as the views of his contemporaries. Modern mathematicians, physicists, science historians, and logicians will find this volume a source of timeless fascination. Unabridged reprint of the classic 1897 edition, with supplement of 1912.

8080/Z80 Assembly Language: Techniques for Improved Programming
On first thought, it might seem strange that another book on the 8080 and Z-80 should appear at this time. Z-80 CPU cards generally became available in 1977 and the 8080 CPU is even older.
