a Greek mathematician and inventor who discovered Archimedes' Principle (?287-212 BC). born 290-280 BC, Syracuse, Sicily died 212/211 BC, Syracuse Legendary Greek inventor and mathematician. His principal discoveries were the Archimedes screw, an ingenious device for raising water, and the hydrostatic principle, or Archimedes' principle. His main interests were optics, mechanics, pure mathematics, and astronomy. Archimedes' mathematical proofs show both boldly original thought and a rigour meeting the highest standards of contemporary geometry. His approximation of was not improved on until after the Middle Ages, and translations of his works were important influences on 9th-century Arab and 16th-and 17th-century European mathematicians. In his native city, Syracuse, he was known as a genius at devising siege and countersiege weapons. He was killed by a Roman soldier during the storming of the city
{i} (287?-212 BC) Greek mathematician and inventer
A Greek mathematician living from approximately 287 BC to 212 BC in Syracuse He invented much plane geometry, studying the circle, parabola and three-dimensional geometry of the sphere as well as studying physics See also Archimedean solid
Greek mathematician and physicist noted for his work in hydrostatics and mechanics and geometry (287-212 BC)
Advanced Research in Communications using Highly Inclined and Demonstrations using European Satellite orbits for Mobile applications and other Experiments
Its form is that of a screw
Archimedes screw
A screwlike device invented by Greek mathematician Archimedes, ca. 200 BCE, which when twisted inside a cylinder, raises water from a lower level to a higher level, allowing irrigation of fields
Archimedes screws
plural form of Archimedes screw
Archimedes screw
device for raising water which consists of a spiral passage or a screw encased in a cylinder
Archimedes' principle
the scientific rule which explains that an object in a liquid is kept up by a force which is equal to the weight of the liquid that the object displaces. Law of buoyancy, discovered by Archimedes, which states that any object that is completely or partially submerged in a fluid at rest is acted on by an upward, or buoyant, force. The magnitude of this force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The volume of fluid displaced is equal to the volume of the portion of the object submerged
archimedes' principle
(hydrostatics) the apparent loss in weight of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid
spiral of Archimedes
A spiral that increases in distance from the point of origin at a constant rate
