EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the renowned ancient Greek mathematician and inventor, Archimedes, surrounded by some of his most famous inventions. Archimedes, born in Syracuse, Sicily around 287 BC, is considered one of the greatest mathematicians in history. He made significant contributions to various fields, including mathematics, physics, engineering, and astronomy. The image shows Archimedes engrossed in thought, with a scroll in hand, symbolizing his deep understanding of mathematical concepts. In the background, several of his inventions are on display. The most prominent among them is the Archimedean screw, an ingenious device used for raising water. Consisting of a spiral helix wrapped around two cylinders, it is still used today in various applications, such as irrigation and sewage treatment. Another invention depicted is the Archimedes' Cattle Problem, which is believed to be an early form of calculus. The problem involves determining the amount of water displaced by a submerged object, such as a herd of cattle. Archimedes' solution to this problem is considered a precursor to the integral calculus developed by Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz centuries later. The image also includes a representation of Archimedes' death, as legend has it that he was killed during the Siege of Syracuse in 212 BC, while continuing his mathematical studies in a bathtub. The story goes that he discovered the principle of buoyancy, or Archimedes' Principle, while pondering how to determine if a crown was made of pure gold. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and inventions of one of history's most brilliant minds.
