Archimedes It is perhaps fitting that Archimedes should lead the lineup of great inventors‚ even in an alphabetical fashion. Archimedes was a Greek mathematician‚ physicist‚ engineer‚ astronomer and an inventor‚ producing his best work in the 3rd century BC. His contributions have been invaluable in several fields‚ but there are some inventions which have made him a cult icon.
