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.

Samuel Morse
Nicholas Conte

Brahmagupta

Brahmagupta

Brahmagupta is the discoverer of zero. He lived from 597 A.D. to 668 A.D. He was a Ancient Indian astronomer and mathematician. Brahmagupta wrote four books in his time. He found out that the Earth is closer to the moon than the sun. Brahmagupta is most famous for his books and that is where a lot of his research can be found. Though he discovered zero, he thought zero divided by zero equals zero. However he did believe in negative and positive numbers.
