Eratosthenes is best known for calculating the Earth's circumference with remarkable accuracy by measuring the angles of shadows in different locations in Egypt. He also developed the Sieve of Eratosthenes, an efficient algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to a specified integer. Additionally, he made significant contributions to geography by creating one of the earliest maps of the known world, incorporating a grid system based on latitude and longitude. His work laid foundational concepts that influenced both mathematics and geography.
