This month our question was what was Archimedes of Syracuse know for. To quote from the source:
“Archimedes of Syracuse is considered one of the greatest thinkers of the ancient world. He established the principles of plane and solid geometry, discovered the concept of specific gravity, conducted experiments on buoyancy, demonstrated the power of mechanical advantage, and invented the Archimedes Screw, an auger-like device for raising water.”
A fascinating thinker find out more about him with the help of Gale in Context: Biography.
