Archimedes

n. (287?-212 BC) Greek mathematician and inventer

Archimedes of Syracuse (Greek: c. 287 BC – c. 212 BC) was an  ancient Greek mathematician, physicist and engineer. Although little is known of his life, he is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity. In addition to making discoveries in the fields of mathematics and geometry, he is credited with designing machines that were innovative. He laid the foundations of hydrostatics, and explained the principle of the lever, the device on which mechanics is based. His early advances in calculus included the first known summation of an infinite series with a method that is still used today. The historians of Ancient Rome showed a strong interest in Archimedes and wrote accounts of his life and works, while the relatively few copies of his treatises that survived through the Middle Ages were an influential source of ideas for scientists during the Renaissance.
