摘要: Archimedes (ca. 287–212 BC) was born in Syracuse, the Greek colony of Sicily. He studied mathematics probably at Museum Alexandria. made important contributions to field mathematics. discovered fundamental theorems concerning center gravity plane geometric shapes and solids. is founder statics hydrostatics. both a great engineer inventor, his machines fascinated subsequent writers, he earned honorary title “father experimental science”. systematized design simple study their functions developed rigorous theory levers kinematics screw. His works contain set concrete principles upon which mechanics could be as science using reason. contribution separates engineering from technology crafts, often confused for matters arrived empirically through process long evolution. have influenced Byzantine period Industrial Revolution New Era.
