Additional Readings:
In class today we demonstrated "Hero's Fountain", an example of hydrostatics
which goes back to Hero of Alexandria over two millenia ago - fluids research has been
going on a long time! To learn more about this early fluid mechanic read the
translation of his work from Greek given
here. The Editor's
and Translator's Prefaces are also interesting.
