ARCHIMEDES
ARCHIMEDES
Archimedes (287-212 BC) was
an ancient Greek mathematician, physics, engineer, astronomer, and philosopher
born in the seaport colony of Syracuse, Magna Graecia, what is now well-known
as Sicily. He is considered by some historians of math to be one of the
greatest, if not the greatest, mathematician in antiquity. Carl Friedrich Gauss
considered him one of the two greatest ever (the other being sir Isaac Newton).
