Sir Thomas Heath (1861 1940) was a British civil servant, mathematician, scholar, historian, translator, and mountaineer. He translated the works of Euclid of Alexandria, Apollonius of Perga, Aristarchus of Samos, and Archimedes into English. It is primarily through Heaths translations that modern English-speaking readers are aware of Archimedes work. A history of Greek Mathematics was published in 1921.
