Archimedes of Syracuse was an ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer and inventor who is considered one of the leading scientists of classical antiquity. He made advances in the fields of hydrostatics, statics and mechanics, and is credited with designing innovative machines. Modern experiments have tested claims that Archimedes designed machines capable of lifting attacking ships out of the water and setting ships on fire using an array of mirrors. He is also considered to be the greatest mathematician of antiquity and one of the greatest of all time, having made contributions in calculating the areas under curves, approximating pi, defining the Archimedean spiral, and expressing very large numbers.

Archimedes of Syracuse (Greek: ; c.287 BC c.
212 BC) was an ancient Greek
mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. [1] Although few details of his life are known, he is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity. Among his advances in physics are the foundations of hydrostatics, statics and an explanation of the principle of the lever. He is credited with designing innovative machines, including siege engines and the screw pump that bears his name. Modern experiments have tested claims that Archimedes designed machines capable of lifting attacking ships out of the water and setting ships on fire using an array of mirrors. [2]
Archimedes is generally considered to be the greatest mathematician of antiquity and one of the greatest of all time. [3][4] He used the method of exhaustion to calculate the area under the arc of a parabola with the summation of an infinite series, and gave a remarkably accurate approximation of pi. [5] He also defined the spiral bearing his name, formulae for the volumes of solids of revolution, and an ingenious system for expressing very large numbers.
