Archimedes of Syracuse (; BC – BC ) was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer.

Archimedes is generally considered to be the greatest mathematician of antiquity and one of the greatest of all time.

Greek mathematician Archimedes, famous for his ideas regarding fluid mechanics and buoyancyIn the 3rd century BCE, the Greek mathematician Archimedes of Syracuse ( ( 287 BCE-212 BCE )-generally considered to be the greatest mathematician of antiquity and one of the greatest of all time-laid the foundations of hydrostatics, statics and calculated the underlying mathematics of the lever.

* the Archimedes Palimpsest, a work of the great Syracusan mathematician copied onto parchment in the 10th century and overwritten by a liturgical text in the 12th century

The city is notable for its rich Greek history, culture, amphitheatres, architecture, and as the birthplace of the preeminent mathematician and engineer Archimedes.

Under his rule lived the most famous Syracusan, the mathematician and natural philosopher Archimedes.

* After a two years ' siege, Roman general, Marcus Claudius Marcellus, gradually forces his way into Syracuse and takes it in the face of strong Carthaginian reinforcements and despite the use of engines of war designed by the Greek mathematician and scientist Archimedes ( such as the Claw of Archimedes ).

The Archimedean spiral ( also known as the arithmetic spiral ) is a spiral named after the 3rd century BC Greek mathematician Archimedes.

Conon was a friend of the mathematician Archimedes whom he probably met in Alexandria.

The Town successfully advocated Prince George's County Government for a new state-of-the-art $ 6 million facility, which received recognition for its utilization of three massive Archimedes Screws, a flood pumping technology developed by the ancient Greek mathematician rarely utilized on such a scale in the United States.

Around 250 BC, Archimedes was commissioned by the king to find a way to check the purity of the gold in a crown, leading to the famous bath-house shouting of " Eureka!

In April 2007, it was reported that imaging analysis had discovered an early commentary on Aristotle's Categories in the Archimedes Palimpsest, and Robert Sharples suggested Alexander as the most likely author.

The Roman fleet was supposedly incinerated, though eventually the city was taken and Archimedes was slain.

In a well-known but probably apocryphal tale, Archimedes was given the task of determining whether King Hiero's goldsmith was embezzling gold during the manufacture of a golden wreath dedicated to the gods and replacing it with another, cheaper alloy.

Proclus introduces Euclid only briefly in his fifth-century Commentary on the Elements, as the author of Elements, that he was mentioned by Archimedes, and that when King Ptolemy asked if there was a shorter path to learning geometry than Euclid's Elements, " Euclid replied there is no royal road to geometry.

E. g., it was his successor Archimedes who proved that a sphere has 2 / 3 the volume of the circumscribing cylinder.

This value was slightly less accurate than the calculations of the Babylonians ( 25 / 8 = 3. 125, within 0. 53 percent ), but was not otherwise surpassed until Archimedes ' approximation of 211875 / 67441

Archimedes ( 287-212 BC ), of Syracuse, Sicily, when it was a Greek city-state, is often considered to be the greatest of the Greek mathematicians, and occasionally even named as one of the three greatest of all time ( along with Isaac Newton and Carl Friedrich Gauss ).

Archimedes even tore apart the arguments of Aristotle and his metaphysics, pointing out that it was impossible to separate mathematics and nature and proved it by converting mathematical theories into practical inventions.

This method was further developed and employed by Archimedes in the 3rd century BC and used to calculate areas for parabolas and an approximation to the area of a circle.

It was ported to the Acorn Archimedes by Jonathan Naylor ( G4KLX ).

Archimedes was among the greatest mathematicians of antiquity.

This is the law of the lever, which was proven by Archimedes using geometric reasoning.

Later, the theory was an essential tool for Galileo, just as it had been for Archimedes.

) The area enclosed by a parabola and a line segment, the so-called " parabola segment ", was computed by Archimedes via the method of exhaustion in the third century BC, in his The Quadrature of the Parabola.

It was probably an application of spiral movement in space ( spirals were a special study of Archimedes ) to a hollow segmented water-wheel used for irrigation by Egyptians for centuries.

" The phrase was used by many early Greek mathematicians, including Euclid and Archimedes.

* Archimedes said δῶς μοι πᾶ στῶ καὶ τὰν γᾶν κινάσω, which is sometimes translated as “ Give me a fixed point and I will move the world .”

* Three small apple trees, said to have been grown from cuttings taken from the apple trees in Sir Isaac Newton's garden, are planted by the archway containing a statue of Archimedes in his bath by Thompson Dagnall.

One of Wren's friends, another great scientist and architect and a fellow Westminster Schoolboy, Robert Hooke said of him " Since the time of Archimedes there scarce ever met in one man in so great perfection such a mechanical hand and so philosophical mind.

Archimedes, on discovering the principle of displacement needed to measure the density of the crown is said to have shouted " eureka, eureka!

Galileo said of Cavalieri, " few, if any, since Archimedes, have delved as far and as deep into the science of geometry.

E. T. Bell in his 1937 book Men of Mathematics ( page 237 ) claims that Gauss said " There have been but three epoch-making mathematicians, Archimedes, Newton, and Eisenstein ", and this has been widely quoted in writings about Eisenstein.

" Condon said he replied: " I believe in Archimedes ' Principle, formulated in the third century B. C.
