Archimedes.

Archimedes published a work named "On the Sphere and Cylinder", where he proved the formulas for the surface area and volume of both spheres and cylinders.

This is actually quite impressive, considering that he lacked the concept of calculus or limits to aid him. In calculus, the proof for the volume of a cylinder because trivial through integration by slicing.
