Archimedes of Syracuse, c. 287 - 212 B.C.,
mathematician and inventor.
Draft. Some of the obvious things here include:
- The "Eureka" thing
- Archimedes' screw
- Machines invented for the defense of Syracuse
- Books written (yes, they didn't survive intact, but list them anyway)
- Some info on π, or at least a link to π's page.
