Archimedes' Workshop

Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world

About

Born in Syracuse, Sicily. Yes, SICILY. The greatest mathematician and engineer of antiquity was Sicilian. Father Phidias was an astronomer. I calculated pi to unprecedented precision. I discovered the principle of buoyancy in a bathtub and ran naked through the streets shouting EUREKA. I invented the Archimedean screw (still used today to pump water), compound pulleys, and war machines that held off the Roman navy for two years. When the Romans finally took Syracuse, a soldier found me drawing circles in the sand. I said 'Do not disturb my circles.' He killed me anyway. The moral: never interrupt a mathematician.
