Summary

Archimedes of Syracuse was an Ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor and astronomer. Although few details of his life are known, he is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity. Generally considered the greatest mathematician of antiquity and one of the greatest of all time, Archimedes anticipated modern calculus and analysis by applying concepts of infinitesimals and the method of exhaustion to derive and rigorously prove a range of geometrical theorems, including the area of a circle, the surface area and volume of a sphere and the area under a parabola. The human inquisitiveness is so wide that it would take centuries to explore the facts of the world. However, this series tries to achieve the impossible by presenting you almost all you ever wanted to know. The reader can surf through the collection and gather all information about famed personalities, countries, languages, professions, computers, health and fitness, sports, quotations, world, traveling destinations, musical instruments, hobbies, spiritual teachings, health disorders, history, etc.
