Archimedes

    Archimedes was a Greek scholar whose insights into the principles of the lever and hydrostatics laid the groundwork for modern physics. His mathematical discoveries included pioneering methods for calculating areas and volumes, and an accurate approximation of pi. Though renowned for his inventions, Archimedes himself considered the geometric relationship between a sphere and a cylinder his greatest achievement. His mathematical writings, initially obscure, inspired scholars for centuries and continue to offer insights into his thought processes through new discoveries.
