Reddit reviews Archimedes: The Father of Mathematics (The Library of Greek Philosophers)

Edit: this post sounds a lot more hostile and dismissive than I meant it to. I really just think you posted this in the wrong place. Ain't nothing wrong with celebrating Archimedes' birthday.

Let me get this straight. You came to the the /r/math subreddit, the home of math discussion on reddit, and you posted something incorrect about the history of math. When someone pointed it out, your response was to say that people should "chill out and go with" pop culture (or what you say pop culture believes about math history). Right?

If you think this is pedantry, and you don't like it, and you're rather be held to the standards of pop culture rather than the standards of people who are interested in math, /r/math isn't the audience you're looking for.

Edit: the only book I could find that's premised on the idea that Archimedes is the father of mathematics is this, a textbook/teaching resource intended for grades 6-10.
