Archimedes

Archimedes was born in Syracuse on the Island of Sicily. He was born in 287 BC to Phidias and was believed to be somewhat related to the king of Syracuse, Heiro II. He is famously known as a mathematician, inventor, engineer, and astronomer. He went to Alexandria and studied at a school established by Euclid. He later returned back to Syracuse and spent majority of his life solving mathematical problems and making new inventions for the king. In 212 BC, Syracuse was overtaken by one of Archimedes enemies. When a soldier came to Archimedes demanding that he go with him, Archimedes refused, saying that he needed to first finish his mathematical equation. Upon hearing this, the soldier became angry and stabbed him, killing the brilliant mathematician…

Archimedes was born in Syracuse, Sicily in 287 B.C and died in 212 B.C he was a greek inventor, mathematician, engineer, and astronomer his work is very beneficial to us still in the 21st century. Throughout his life most of his work include his mathematician works and physics. As a child Archimedes developed curiosity and became penchant for problem solving. After learning all that he could from his teachers in Syracuse he moved to Alexandria,Egypt and went to a school in which it was…

Legendary Inventor 1 Thessalonians 5:21 says “but test them all; hold to what is good.”Archimedes was a marvelous scientist who wanted to discover and study. He made remarkable invention and discoveries. Most of his discoveries we still use to this day. Archimedes was born in the Greek city of Syracuse the islands of Sicily. And he was educated in the city of Alexandria in Egypt,this is also the place where he intelligently invented the Archimedes screw. Archimedes…

My mathematician is Archimedes he was born in two hundred twelve BC and died in two hundred eighty seven BC. Born in Syracuse , Sicily not only was he a mathematician but a physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. Archimedes was killed by a roman soldier in Siege Syracuse. Although his life is not very detailed there is some things we know about him. He is considered one of the leading scientist in classical antiquity as well as the greatest mathematician in antiquity. A biography was…

Archimedes had so many different discoveries and triumphs and inventions under his belt, but he considered his other theoretical achievements his greatest triumph. With his inventions in geometry and mathematics, he is also known for the odd weapons he created for the King to help protect Syracuse like the "Death ray" and "Archimedes claw". He is credited also with inventions and discoveries in the field of physics such as hydrostatics, and calculus. In mechanics he had defined the principle of…

Archimedes Accomplishments Archimedes was born in Scilly in 287 BC, he is known for being one of the greatest Greek minds during the Classical Age due to his contributions to science. However, he was not just a scientist he was also a great mathematician with his mathematical formula that illustrates how to get the volume of a sphere, and he was an amazing inventor too as he had numerous of inventions that we still use today. Archimedes contributions to the topic of physics are endless but, one…

have been used in several ways to solve complicated math problems. An integral is a function that expresses the area under the curve of a graph of a function. The first time the technique was brought forward was by a greek astronomer Eudoxus in the 370 BC. He used the technique called as the method of exhaustion which helped him find area or volume. The way he achieved this was using infinite numbers of division. Later Archimedes came along in the 3rd century BC and used the method of…

Archimedes is humble because he doesn't brag about his amazing ideas, intellect, and inventions. One example is, “ According to Plutarch (c. 46–119 C.E.), Archimedes had so low an opinion of the kind of practical invention at which he excelled and to which he owed his contemporary fame that he left no written work on such subjects.” From this, you could conclude Archimedes was humble because he wasn't bragging or boasting about his intellect by writing about his works, like many mathematicians…

Nikhita Guntu and Laya Biddala Archimedes Background Information: Archimedes, (born c. 287 bce, Syracuse, Sicily,—died 212/211 bce, Syracuse), the most-famous mathematician and inventor in ancient Greece. Archimedes was the son of the mathematician and astronomer named Phidias. There is very little information left behind on Archimedes’ family. Some say he came from a noble family, while others claim he was related to the King of Syracuse. However, evidence shows that Archimedes traveled to…

Archimedes was a Greek mathematician and inventor who made significant changes to a number of fields and developed huge breakthroughs during his time. His discoveries, like figuring out how to find the surface area and volume of a cube, have had a great impact on mathematics and many other areas of science well. He was born in approximately 287 BC in Syracuse, Sicily, and spent the majority of his life working in and for this city before finally dying there in around 212 BC. Throughout his life,…
