Reviel Netz is Professor of Classics at Stanford University, California. He has written many books on mathematics, history and poetry, including, most recently, The Transformation of Mathematics in the Early Mediterranean World (2004) and (with William Noel) The Archimedes Codex (2007). The Shaping of Deduction in Greek Mathematics (1999) has been variously acclaimed as 'a masterpiece' (David Sedley, Classical Review), and 'The most important work in Science Studies since Leviathan and the Air-Pump' (Bruno Latour, Social Studies of Science). Together with Nigel Wilson, he is currently editing the Archimedes Palimpsest, and he is also producing a three-volume complete translation of and commentary on the works of Archimedes.
