AI IMAGE - Bust of Archimedes, 3rd century BC, (2023). Archimedes of Syracuse (c287- 212 BC), Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer, discovered formulae for calculating areas and volumes of planes and solid figures. He also made significant contributions to hydrostatics - the behaviour and power of static fluids. Archimedes is popularly supposed to have shouted 'Eureka!' on discovering that the water rose as he got into the bath: the principle of upthrust on a floating body.
