Original, unpublished papers demonstrating the sequence, progression, or continuum of Archimedean influence from ancient to modern times will be considered for presentation at this Conference. Some examples of possible presentation topics drawn from the works of Archimedes are the following:

Hydrostatics (buoyancy, fluid pressure and density, stability of floating bodies)

Mechanics (levers, pulleys, centers of gravity, laws of equilibrium)

Pycnometry (measurement of volume and density)

Integral Calculus (Archimedes as the father of the integral calculus, method of exhaustion, approximation of pi, determination of areas and volumes)

Mathematical Physics (Archimedes as the father of mathematical physics, Law of the Lever, Law of Buoyancy, Axiomatization of Physics)

History of Mathematics and Mechanics (Archimedes’ influence in antiquity, the middle ages, the Renaissance, and modern times; his influence on Leonado da Vinci, Galileo, Newton, and other giants of science and mathematics)

Ancient Machines and Mechanisms (catapults, water screws, iron hands, compound pulleys, planetaria, water clocks, celestial globes, the Antikythera Mechanism)

Archimedean Solids (their rediscovery in the Rennaisance and their applications in materials science and chemistry)

Archimedean Legends (how stories of golden crowns, eureka moments, naked runs, burning mirrors, steam cannons, etc., have influenced us through the ages, whether true or not)

The Cattle Problem (how its 18^th century rediscovery inspired the study of equations with integer solutions)

Teaching the Ideas of Archimedes (how his life and works have influenced the teaching of science, mathematics, and engineering. )

Because of the location of the Conference, we will also have a special session devoted to “Syracuse in the Time of Archimedes”.

The above topics are suggestions only and we look forward to a wide variety of Archimedean presentations. Please contact one of the Conference Co-chairs if you are uncertain whether your proposed presentation is appropriate for the Conference.

The Program Committee will select papers for presentation at the Conference following peer review. Please see the section on Manuscript Preparation for more information.
