  • He was born in about 287bc in Syracuse in Sicily.
  • He died in 212bc or 211bc.
  • He is regarded as one of the best mathematicians of all time.
  • He was known to make outlandish claims and was regarded by some as a fool. He then staged a demonstration where he pulled a trireme up on shore all by himself (using a system of pulleys). The king then decreed that what ever Archimedes said was to be considered true.
  • He made war machines.
  • When the Romans conquered Sicily they trained a special squad of soldiers who's job it was to capture Archimedes alive.
  • The law of the lever
  • The law of volumetric displacement.
  • Discovered Calculus 1500 years before Newton and Liebnetz.
  • His last words (to the Roman soldier that killed him) 'Don't disturb my circles.'

Archimedes was born in 287 BC and died in 212 BC. He found a lot of pi's numbers ;) yea um that's good but here are a few more fun facts bout him:)1. He was very tall when he turned 13 5'12.2. His brain capicaity rate was 8th grade when he was in 2nd.3. His math level was beyond all exceedatations he was taken to private classrooms at the high schools.4. He and his father were very poor but his father's knowledge of astronmy made them 10 cents an hour when having to teach children.5. His hair went blonde as soon as he was 3 but it was brown like his mothers when he was born.6. He was so overworked that he got grey hairs in his second year of college in Egypt.7. All he and his father ate was fish and bread because fruits-spices-and vegstables were to pricey.8. Even though he only ate fish at Egypt he was known as the capitol of math knowledge they gave him fruits-spices- and vegstables which he took to his father.9. His dream was to start a school for all children where they learn engeneering-physics-mathmatics- and astronmy:)10. Egypt was known then as the intellect capitol of the world.these r all i thought of off the top of my head:)

Archimedes invented the Archimedes's screw, which raised water. He estimated pi by drawing circles around hexagons and discovered the principle of displacement. Archimedes of Syracuse was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. 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 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 surfaces of revolution and an ingenious system for expressing very large numbers.

Can anyone find out about the life of Archimedes and his work on levers?

Archimedes of Syracuse was born c. 287 BC (in Syracuse). Not much is known about his life, modern day scholars still have no idea whether he was married or had children. He may have studied in Alexandria (Egypt). Archimedes died in c. 212 BC, during the Roman invasion of the second punic war.Although he didn't invent the lever, Archimedes was the first to accurately describe how it worked.
