Dunham on Archimedes:

"In this fashion, the pre-Archimedean mystery regarding
circumferences, circular areas, and spherical volumes
was resolved. No longer were three different constants
needed to address these three different matters; all
three rested upon knowledge of pi. Archimedes had
exhibited a stunning unity among them."

-- Dunham, "Journey through Genius"
