Archimedes was a Greek mathematician,
physicist, engineer, inventor and astronomer

Archimedes was born in 287BC in

the seaport city of Sycrause, Silisy
in Greece.

*
He is well known for Archimedes principle, hydrostatics,
Archimedes screw, levers and infinitesimals.
He also proved that the area of a circle was equal to
multiplied by the square of the radius of the circle (r2).
In Measurement of a Circle, Archimedes gives the value
of the square root of 3 as lying between 265153
(approximately 1.7320261) and 1351780
(approximately 1.7320512). The actual value is 1.7320508.

Belfast Ireland. He was a mathematical physicist and
engineer. He studied in the University of Glasgow.

*
He is known for many things such as Joule-Thomson effect,
Mirror galvanometer, Kelvin material, Kelvin wave, Absolute
Zero, etc.
The Kelvin unit of measurement is named after him. It is one
Of the seven base units in SI system. Its symbol is K.
The Kelvin is defined as the fraction 1273.16 of the thermodynamic
Temperature of triple point of water.
