History

Pitagoras
Pythagoras' Theorem in a tiling | matematicas visuales
We can see Pythagoras' Theorem in a tiling.

Archimedes
Archimedes' Method to calculate the area of a parabolic segment | matematicas visuales
Archimedes show us in 'The Method' how to use the lever law to discover the area of a parabolic segment.

Kepler
Kepler: The Area of a Circle | matematicas visuales
Kepler used an intuitive infinitesimal approach to calculate the area of a circle.
Kepler: Surface and volume of a sphere | matematicas visuales
Kepler studied the volume and surface of the sphere. He thought the volume of the sphere as made up of small cones, then he sum all of these cones and get a relation between the surface of a sphere en its volume.
Kepler: The volume of a wine barrel | matematicas visuales
Kepler was one mathematician who contributed to the origin of integral calculus. He used infinitesimal techniques for calculating areas and volumes.
Kepler: The best proportions for a wine barrel | matematicas visuales
Studying the volume of a barrel, Kepler solved a problem about maxima in 1615.

Cavalieri
Cavalieri: The volume of a sphere | matematicas visuales
Using Cavalieri's Principle we can calculate the volume of a sphere.

The Logarithm Function
Mercator and Euler: Logarithm Function | matematicas visuales
Mercator published his famous series for the Logarithm Function in 1668. Euler discovered a practical series to calculate.
