In ancient Greece, he was the most famous mathematician and inventor.

Archimedes is famous for

discovering the relationship between a sphere's surface and volume and the circumscribing cylinder. He
is most known for developing a hydrostatic principle (known as Archimedes' principle) and the
Archimedes screw, a device for lifting water that is still in use today.

The upward buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to
the weight of the fluid that the body displaces, according to Archimedes' principle. Archimedes' principle
is a fundamental law of physics in fluid mechanics. Archimedes of Syracuse was the one who came up
with the idea.
