El método de investigación de Arquímedes de Siracusa: Intuición, mecánica y exhaución.

In this paper the basic scheme of Archimedes of Syracuse's investigative method is presented, as well as its historical and scientific implications. For this purpose the two fundamental procedures of such method will be evaluated: the application of an innovative heuristic method of mechanical nature, and the further proof of such results through the exhaustion method.
