Archimedes of Syracuse (287 BC – 212 BC) was a Greek mathematician‚ physicist‚ engineer‚ inventor‚ and astronomer. Archimedes is generally considered to be the greatest mathematician of antiquity and one of the greatest of all time. 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. He also defined the spiral bearing his name‚ formulae for the volumes of solids of revolution

Title: Density‚ Alcohol Content and the Archimedes Principle (Performed 09/11/13) Report submitted by: Purpose: Part I was to examine three different objects of the same material in order to identify the type of metal. We used the water displacement method and the buoyancy method according to Archimedes Principle. Part II was to find the density of ethanol by mass. We used a 25.0mL graduated cylinder and a 25.00mL volumetric flask to measure the volume. We used two different pieces of glassware

Archimedes was one of the greatest philosophers who lived from 287 BC to 211 BC in Syracuse. Archimedes was a physicist‚ astronomer‚ engineer and mathematician who discovered and invented machines such as the Archimedean screw‚ Archimedes principle‚ Archimedean spiral‚ Archimedes claw‚ planetarium‚ compound pulley system and many war machines. His greatest contributions were in geometry and his methods and ideas started the idea of calculus and finding the density of an object without damaging the

Born the son of an astronomer‚ Phidias‚ in 287 B.C.‚ Archimedes’ education began as a young man in Syracuse. He furthered his education in Alexandria‚ where he studied with fellow scholar Conon‚ an Egyptian mathematician. What we know of Archimedes comes from his personal works as well as those of Cicero and Plutarch. However‚ "due to the length of time between Archimedes’ death and his biographers’ accounts‚ as well as inconsistencies among their writings‚ details of his life must remain subject

Brute force and pure strength do not win battles. Archimedes‚ a Greek genius proved that to be true by winning many battles despite not being the best strategist or having the best army; building and inventing war machines led him to his victory. Archimedes’ inventions have completely altered the way warfare was fought. Firstly‚ to defend the Romans off when Syracuse was fighting the Second Punic war‚ Archimedes invented war machines that were effective and required significantly lesser amount of
