Archimedes of Syracuse (Greek: Άρχιμήδης) (c. 287 BC – c. 212 BC) was an ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, astronomer and engineer.
Although little is known of his life, he is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity. Among his advances in physics are the foundations of hydrostatics and the explanation of the principle of the lever. His early use of calculus included the first known summation of an infinite series with a method that is still used today. He is also credited with designing innovative machines, including weapons and the screw pump that bears his name. He is best known for allegedly exclaiming "Eureka!" after discovering what is known today as Archimedes' principle.
