Archimedes

                                          Archimedes 

        Archimedes is one of the greatest mathematicians, and scientist in the history of the world. His inventions and discoveries, have made big changes in the world. 
         Archimedes was born in 287 B.C at Syracuse, Sicily and lived to be 75 years old, he is the son of a successful Astronomer and Mathematician named Phidias. Part of his youth was spent time being educated in Alexandria, Egypt. Archimedes is most likely related to King Hireron II, but it was never really proven.
        Archimedes was best known for his discovery on relation between surface, and volume of a sphere, and the Archimedes screw. Archimedes inventions consist of the War Machine, Pulley System, Planetarium, Water Screw, and maybe the Water Organ             Sadly though, Archimedes died during the Second Pulnic War.
