Historical note
In Archimedes' topic on the
Quadrature of the Parabola
(c. 250 ..)
he finds the area bounded by a parabolic segment by inscribing a
succession of triangles and summing their areas with a geometric series.
In this later work
On Spirals
he included a summation of segments of
areas which led to the same algebraic calculations and argument as in
our qn 1. Cavalieri, a pupil of Galileo, published further studies of area
