The Principle or law states that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of fluid that the object displaces. In other words, imagine that you sat down in a tub full of water and the water splashes out the edges. You notice that so you take that displaced water and measure the amount. However much you displaced of that fluid is the amount lighter you become in the rest of the liquid.

This is the Archimedes principle- when a body is totally submerged in the fluid completely or partially it experiences an upward force called buoyant force equal to the weight of the body.

Buoyant force- buoyant force is the upward force exerted by the water on any body in the water. This buoyant force is perpendicular to the body in the liquid and is = to the product of pressure and area at that point.

In math, Archimedes' principle or axiom deals with the nature of real numbers. The axiom states that if 'x' is any real number, then there exists a natural number 'n' where 'n' is greater than 'x'. This is different than Archimedes' principle in physics concerning buoyancy.

He proved that a body plunged in a fluid becomes lighter by an amount equal in weight to the amount of fluid it displaces.
