This book provides a detailed reconstruction and a complete demonstration of the mathematical treatise 'Measurement of a Circle', written by Archimedes of Syracuse in the 3rd century BC. Through rigorous geometric analysis, the author explains how the Greek scholar managed to approximate the value of the number π with unprecedented precision, a method that laid the foundations for future mathematical advances. The work is based on the research of Professor Pedro Carrión López, who reconstructed the texts and figures from ancient manuscripts. With an accessible approach, the book allows any reader with basic mathematical knowledge to follow Archimedes' logical reasoning, making it an essential tool for understanding the history of mathematics and the evolution of calculus.
