Archimedes, the ancient Greek mathematician and inventor, made several significant discoveries, including the principles of leverage and buoyancy, famously articulated in his principle that states a body immersed in fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. He also formulated the concept of the center of gravity and contributed to geometry with his work on the areas and volumes of shapes, such as spheres and cylinders. Additionally, Archimedes invented the Archimedean screw for raising water and designed various war machines to defend Syracuse during its siege. His contributions laid foundational principles for physics and mathematics that are still relevant today.
