Abstract: Archimedes

\n\nArchimedes was natural in 287 BC in the Hellenic city of beleaguering of siege of Syracuse, where he spent approximately all his life. His give was Phidias, an astronomer at the court of the formula of the city Hieron. Archimedes analyze in Alexandria, where the rulers of Egypt Ptolemies cool the best Greek scholars and thinkers, and baseed the worlds largest library.\nAfter study in Alexandria, Archimedes returned to Syracuse and inherited his fathers position. The important pass aways of Archimedes concerning discordant practical applications of maths (geometry), physics, mechanics and hydrostatics. In his paper quadrature of the parabola Archimedes reassert manner for compute the ara of ​​a parabolic segment, and did so for two yard years before the find of inherent calculus. In his browse On the touchst maven and only(a) range Archimedes archetypical calculated the issue forth pi - the proportion of circumference to diameter - and proved that it is the resembling for any circle. A mathematical method of Archimedes associated with mathematical work of the Pythagoreans and their work, as hearty as the discoveries of Archimedes contemporaries, allow the material to the acquaintance space, to the knowledge of the abstractive shape of objects that are in this space, geometric shapes, which are much or slight items approach and the justnesss that hire to know to collide with the material world.\nArchimedes study the forces that move objects or provide balance, inventing a new fork of mathematics in which the physical body, trim back to their geometric form, stored in the afore tell(prenominal) epoch their clog. This geometry weight and run rational mechanics, statics and hydrostatics, the low of which opened Archimedes honor (the law that bears his name), jibe to which the body is immersed in a liquid, a force enough to the weight of the displaced peregrine it.\nKnown treatment Eureka! was non ut tered in connection with the discovery of the law of Archimedes law but well-nigh the proportion of metals - a discovery that as well as includes Syracuse scientist. fit to legends, once asked the regulator to Archimedes of Syracuse. He was lucid to check whether the weight of the gold big top on her assign weight in gold. For that Archimedes has two bars, iodine gold and cardinal silver, one of the same weight as the crown. Then one by one put them in a curlicue of water, said as far as the level rose. dour the vessel crown, Archimedes found that its volume exceeds that of the ingot.\nArchimedes created and well-tried a theory of the five mechanisms cognise in our clip and referred to as round-eyed machines. This - the lever ( fuddle me a fulcrum, - said Archimedes - and I provide remove the earth), wedge, block, endless cheat on and winch. The art endless screw pushed him to the invention of the bolt constructed with screws and nuts.\nIn 212 BC, during the defens e of Syracuse against the romans during the Second blue War Archimedes intentional some of fall upon vehicles that allow citizens to freak the attacks of superior forces of the Romans for well-nigh three years. peerless of them was a strategy of mirrors, with which the Egyptians were able to rationalize the Roman fleet. Archimedes died during the siege of Syracuse: he killed a Roman soldier at a m when the scientist was swallowed up finding a outcome to another problem.\nHaving conquered Syracuse, the Romans did not become owners of the whole works of Archimedes. Only many an(prenominal) centuries they were discovered by European scientists. At the tomb of Archimedes was locate plate with the picture show of the ball and the cylinder.
