    <font color="red"><font color="red"> </font></font>Archimedes of Syracuse


    287 BC - 212 BC


    Archimedes was the greatest mathematician of his age. His contributions in geometry revolutionised the subject and his methods anticipated the integral calculus 2,000 years before Newton and Leibniz. He was also a thoroughly practical man who invented a wide variety of machines including pulleys and the Archimidean screw pumping device.

    This Principle is used to determine the weight of ships.

    I think  he was a Greek   something   inventor,  scholar. etc.
