- Powers of 10 View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

- Complete Euclid's Elements Euclid's Elements form one of the most beautiful and influential works of science in the history of humankind. Its beauty lies in its logical development of geometry and other branches of mathematics. It has influenced all branches of science but none so much as mathematics and the exact sciences. The Elements have been studied 24 centuries in many languages starting, of course, in the original Greek, then in Arabic, Latin, and many modern languages.
- Napier's Work on Logarithms A description of the admirable table of logarithmes: with a Declaration of the Most Plentiful, Easy, and Speedy use thereof in both kindes of trigonometrie as also in mathematical calculations. Invented and published in Latin by that honorable John Napier, Baron of Marchiston, and translated into English by the late learned and famous Mathematician Edward Wright.
