Archimedes was an Greek mathematician in the third century b.c.e.. He was mostly known for his book called The Method. In this book he wrote down his thoughts of how he was able to solve some of the most complex math problems, which changed the world. The book was lost for many centuries. Then a family claimed to have an old scripture and sure enough it was the book of Archimedes. It was sold at auction for two million dollars and the buyer remains anonymous. He then gave the book to a group
Archimedes was one of ancient Greece’s best mathematicians, physicists, and inventors. He changed the modern understanding of geometry, trigonometry, military mathematics, and physics. His concepts and theorems have effected every part of modern math and technology. Archimedes has been known through all his discoveries, titles, and achievements but there is little known about the man he was. Since little was known of his life, he is known as a natural scientist and a mathematician. Archimedes
Archimedes is known for his prestigious works in geometry and science, as well as for his many inventions and innovations in his time.

Archimedes of Syracuse was an Ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, inventor, engineer, and astronomer. He studied at Alexandria in the 3rd century BCE. Although he was an accomplished engineer, his true love was pure mathematics. In fact, he was considered one of the greatest mathematicians of the ancient past. Archimedes not only produced formulas, but also discovered the precise value of pi. Regardless of his important contributions to pure mathematics, he is best remembered for his discovery
Greek technology has dramatically evolved throughout history. Ancient Greek technology, which developed during the 5th century continued until the Roman Period included many inventions inspired by the need to improve weapons and tactics in war. Archimedes was born in 287 B.C. in Syracuse, Sicily, Magna Graecia. He studied mathematics at he Museum in Alexandria and made multiple contributions to the field of mathematics. His books centered around applied mathematics and mechanics and rigorous mathematical
Pythagoras Pythagoras is a famously known controversial ancient greek philosopher. Pythagoras is known as the first pure mathematician. Though much information about pythagoras mathematical achievements is not known, because unlike other greek mathematicians, pythagoras had no book or writings. The information known about pythagoras today, was recorded a few centuries after his death. Pythagoras is the son of Mnesarchus, he was born on a greek island in 570 BC. Pythagoras was known to be married
A Cartesian Diver is and interesting science experiment that expresses the principles of Buoyancy, and the gas law known as “Boyles Law”. It is simply a 2 liter bottle that is filled with water, and has a Plastic Pipet with a brass nut attached to it. It is an easy, and fun way to demonstrate Buoyancy and the concepts of Chemistry to students. The Cartesian diver was named for the French philosopher and scientist René Descartes, who invented this marvelous experiment. The main science behind
The big ideas of Teacher’s Guide for Clay Boats: Experiments with Floating, Sinking, and Simple Volume Relationships curriculum are displacement, density and buoyancy. Displacement happens when an object is fully submerged in a liquid, pushing it aside and taking its place. Students are exposed to displacement in the first activity of this curriculum. They are able to observe this as a piece of clay is placed into lukewarm water. The clay pushes the water aside as it begins to sink. Buoyancy is the
How to Properly Perform the Temple Blend Haircut Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to the wonderful world of barbering. Today I will be introducing you to the technique of blending. The focal point here will be the region of the temple blend. Some may refer to this cut also as a temp blend, temp fade, temple fade, or a blowout fade. Many people, even some so called barbers are unsure of how to correctly do a temple blend haircut. The temple blend is often confused with what is called a taper fade, or
Archimedes was born in 287 BC in Syracuse, Sicily and died in 212 BC in Syracuse, Sicily. From my research it seemed like he didn’t have any history of having children.His education could of been in Alexandria, Egypt and he also had a great interest in mathematics. I am not so sure about his teachers but i do know his inventions and theories have inspired many people. It said that he found his own ways of problem solving. His father was an astronomer named Phideas, they say he was related to the
