^^Erone di Alessandria.

 

μετρικά 

  1. Metrica, descrizione di tecniche per calcolare superfici e volumi di differenti oggetti, in cui sono presenti dimostrazioni con esempi numerici.
  2. Metrica, a description of how to calculate surfaces and volumes of diverse objects.
  3. Heron of Alexandria dealt with the division of surfaces and solids in the third book of his Surveying (μετρικά). Although the enunciations of the propositions in this book are, as a whole, similar to those in Euclid's book On Divisions, Heron's discussion consists almost entirely of "analyses" and approximations.
