Archimedes -

Archimedes was born around 287 BC. On the island of Syracuse in the Sicily Islands. Father Pheidias was an astronomer.He studied in Alexandria in his youth and youth. At that time, Alexandria was the seat of knowledge and science. As a student, Archimedes became known for his extraordinary intelligence and graceful personality. His teacher was Canon. Canon was a student of the great Euclid, the father of geometry. Following in the footsteps of his predecessors, he wanted to become a mathematician. He was most interested in arithmetic, especially geometry. Euclid, the canon, took up where Archimedes left off.

Archimedes hated war. It was also against his nature to obey someone. But since he was a subject of Syracuse, a servant of the emperor Hiera, he had to obey the emperor's orders without help.He made about 40 inventions on the orders of the emperor. Some of them were items for traders but most were needed by the military department.An invention of Archimedes is the pool and lever. Once a ship got so stuck in the ford that it could no longer be floated. Archimedes observed everything carefully. He felt that only if the ship could be raised, it would be possible to float the ship. Everyone burst out laughing after hearing Archimedes.• Invented lever and pulley within few days. At the ship's wharf, he arranged to lift the lever of the high place. He tied a big rope in it. One end of the rope is tied tightly to the ship.Emperor Hiero himself came to the shipwreck to see this strange thing. The city was destroyed and all the people there were stuck. Archimedes asked the emperor to pull the lever at the other end of the rope. At the words of Archimedes, the emperor pulled the rope with all his might. Suddenly surprised. The ship moved

. No exact information is known about the discovery of Archimedes. He had no interest in inventing machinery for military purposes. He was mainly interested in mathematics. Most of the day he was engrossed in research and forgot all about the outside world. So many times have passed since people gave him food for his work, he did not touch the Kaaba all day. Forgot about food. Sometimes he used to spend hours there while taking a bath. It was found that he was drawing numbers on the wall of the bathroom

. His works are twelve in number on the subjects of physics, geometry, astronomy. Also there is no trace of him composing any more.Archimedes' notable discoveries in mathematics are-(1) The ratio of circumference to diameter of a circle lies between 300/71 and 31/7.(2) Determined the area of hyperbolic segments.(3) invented 32 aphorisms about conical and spherical objects.(4) Determined the theory of symmetry of plane fields as the foundation of the theory of mechanics.

Many of his discovered facts guide scientists even today.
