Archimedes was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer, born in Syracuse, Sicily, in 287 BC.
He is known for his contributions in the field of geometry, hydrostatics, and mechanics.
Among his discoveries is Archimedes' principle, which states that a body submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.
He is also credited with the invention of various machines, including the Archimedes screw, used for lifting water.
His legacy continues to be a source of inspiration for scientists and mathematicians today.
Archimedes died in 212 BC during the siege of Syracuse by the Romans..
