Archimedes‚ considered on of the greatest minds of the ancient world was born on the island of Sicily in the Greek city of Syracuse in the year 287 B.C.. Syracuse at the time was an independent Greek city-state with a 500-year history. He was the son of Phidias who was a Greek Astronomer and Mathematician. All that we know about Archimedes comes from his existing manuscripts‚ and from ancient historians such as Plutarch and Cicero among others centuries after his death. Considering the length

Archimedes: An Incredible Man or An Incredible Fraud? Archimedes was considered throughout his lifetime as “the great geometer”‚ but did a man as great as this truly exist? Should he be ranked with Newton and Gauss? Archimedes was born 287 BC in Syracuse‚ Sicily‚ which was a Greek City at the time. No one knows his last name or much about his family life because there are no official records. He was educated by a man named Euclid in a school located in Alexandria‚ Egypt. Archimedes lived in a

Archimedes is regarded as one of greatest mathematicians and inventors of his time. He was born in Syracuse‚ Sicily around the year 287BC. Archimedes acquired his education in Alexandria‚ Egypt‚ but spent most of his life in Sicily. When in Sicily‚ he stayed in or near Syracuse and did nothing but experiment and research. Archimedes made many contributions to mathematics. One of the more important discoveries Archimedes made was he found a way to measure the areas and volumes of objects that are

Main idea: Buoyancy of an object is determined by properties of the object as well as properties of the fluid surrounding it. density=mass/volume More dense at bottom The result of pressure exerted equally in all horizontal directions by water. Pressure at bottom greater than

Archimedes Archimedes was born on 287 BC - 212 BC. His full name was Archimedes of Syracuse. He doesn’t have his full name shown; this is is because we haven’t found documents of his real full name. To everyone he is known as Archimedes of Syracuse. He was a Greek man. The things he was known for were mathematician‚ physicist‚ engineering‚ inventing‚ and astronomy. Archimedes also made several different types of things that were useful at that time period. He is considered to be the greatest

Archimedes Water pumps‚ burning mirrors‚ levers‚ war machines‚ spheres‚ cylinders‚ circles‚ spheroids‚ or spirals‚ ever wondered who first thought of them? Where they came from? All of these things were considered during Archimedes life. Not much is known about Archimedes life. Yet he is still regarded as one of the most important scientists of classical antiquity. Archimedes was a mathematician with much fame whose philosophies became known all over the world. He gained the reputation that he

Archimedes Archimedes was a Greek mathematician and scientist. He was born in Syracuse‚ Sicily in the year 287 B.C. He was educated in Alexandria‚ Egypt.he was educated under the successors of Euclid. His father was an astronomer named Pheidias. he was very likely related to the family of King Hieron of Syracuse. Although it is not clear whether the relationship with the king was personal or business. Archimedes started felds of Hydrostatics ‚pycnometry‚ and combinatorics‚ but he is most f

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/class/phscilab/dens.html Archimedes’ principle states that the buoyant force experienced by a submerged object is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the object. Experimentally this appears in the fact that the submerged object apparently weighs less by an amount equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. The buoyant force can be expressed as http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/pbuoy.html#arch3 Buoyancy Buoyancy arises from the

A mathematician is a person whose primary area study is the field of mathematics. Mathematicians are concerned with logic‚ space‚ transformations‚ numbers and more general ideas which encompass these concepts. Some notable mathematicians include Archimedes of Syracuse‚ Leonhard Paul Euler‚ Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss‚ Johann Bernoulli‚ Jacob Bernoulli‚ Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī‚ Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann‚ Gottfried Leibniz‚ Euclid of Alexandria‚ Jules Henri Poincaré‚ Srinivasa Ramanujan
