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:
“... no one who has not been an integral part of a slaveholding community, can have any idea of its abominations.... even were slavery no curse to its victims, the exercise of arbitrary power works such fearful ruin upon the hearts of slaveholders, that I should feel impelled to labor and pray for its overthrow with my last energies and latest breath.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“Science is feasible when the variables are few and can be enumerated; when their combinations are distinct and clear. We are tending toward the condition of science and aspiring to do it. The artist works out his own formulas; the interest of science lies in the art of making science.”
—Paul Valéry (1871–1945)
