Other Works
Pappus mentions other treatises of Apollonius:
- Λόγου ἀποτομή, De Rationis Sectione ("Cutting of a Ratio")
- Χωρίου ἀποτομή, De Spatii Sectione ("Cutting of an Area")
- Διωρισμένη τομή, De Sectione Determinata ("Determinate Section")
- Ἐπαφαί, De Tactionibus ("Tangencies")
- Νεύσεις, De Inclinationibus ("Inclinations")
- Τόποι ἐπίπεδοι, De Locis Planis ("Plane Loci").
Each of these was divided into two books, and—with the Data, the Porisms, and Surface-Loci of Euclid and the Conics of Apollonius—were, according to Pappus, included in the body of the ancient analysis.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“And when discipline is concerned, the parent who has to make it to the end of an eighteen-hour day—who works at a job and then takes on a second shift with the kids every night—is much more likely to adopt the survivor’s motto: “If it works, I’ll use it.” From this perspective, dads who are even slightly less involved and emphasize firm limits or character- building might as well be talking a foreign language. They just don’t get it.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“Do not worry about the incarnation of ideas. If you are a poet, your works will contain them without your knowledge—they will be both moral and national if you follow your inspiration freely.”
—Vissarion Belinsky (1810–1848)
