Riabouchinsky. Excerpt: Archimedes of Syracuse (Greek: ; c. 287 BC - c. 212 BC)
was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer.
Although few details of his life are known, he is regarded as one of the
leading scientists in classical antiquity. Among his advances in physics are
the foundations of hydrostatics, statics and an explanation of the principle of
the lever. He is credited with designing innovative machines, including siege
engines and the screw pump that bears his name. Modern experiments have tested
claims that Archimedes designed machines capable of lifting attacking ships out
of the water and setting ships on fire using an array of mirrors. 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 …
