Greek mathematician Archimedes is widely considered

by many to be the "father of mathematics." He is

regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical
antiquity and is credited with designing numerous
innovative machines, including the screw pump and
siege engines.
Archimedes (c. 287 BC – c. 212 BC) was an
ancient Greek mathematician, scientist and inventor
who lived in the city of Syracuse in Sicily. He is
considered one of the greatest mathematicians of all
time and his contributions to the field
include anticipating calculus; providing the firstaccurate
estimation of the value of pi; and being the first to
derive a formula for surface area and volume of a
sphere. In physics, among other things, Archimedes
formulated the famousArchimedes’ principle in the field
of fluid mechanics; proved the law of the lever; and laid
the foundation of hydrostatics with his work On Floating
Bodies. Despite these contributions, during his time
Archimedes was most known for inventing deadly war
machines like the Claw of Archimedes. His other
inventions include the Archimedes’ screw and
the odometer. Know more about the numerous
