Stanford Report, August 9, 2006 Archimedes Palimpsest Project Bergmann, left, and Noel place fragments from the Archimedes Palimpsest in front of the X-ray beam. A scan of the palimpsest reveals vertical text hidden beneath the paint. Multispectral imaging revealed that Archimedes was well on his way to developing calculus, nearly 1,000 years before Isaac Newton.
After more than 1,000 years in obscurity, the last unreadable pages of the works of ancient mathematician Archimedes are being deciphered, thanks to the X-ray vision at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), which Stanford operates for the U.S. "It is amazing how much the Archimedes Palimpsest project has gained from Stanford University," said Will Noel, curator of manuscripts and rare books at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, where the document is housed. The manuscript uniquely records several of the works of the legendary 3rd century B.C.E. mathematician, who famously exclaimed "Eureka!
