The Life of Archimedes

The mirror is oblique to the sun and is expected to catch fire with a tar paint of a combustible container. ("invention"). During the Second Poenie War, Archimedes' invention invented an enemy from Syracuse for three years ("Archimede"). Wang Jierro II wanted to know if his crown was really gold or only silver so he asked Archimedes for discovery ("Archimedes"). Just as he was taking a shower at Archimedes, he realized that whenever he entered it would flood the water. He got excited and jumped up and ran down the street and shouted "Eureka!" Or "I found it!" ("Archimede").

Archimedes was born in Syracuse, Sicily, in 287 BC. He is the son of an astronomer and mathematician named Phidias. In addition, little is known about the early life of Archimedes and his family. Some people think he belongs to a nobleman of Syracuse, and his family is related to King Sarokas Hero II to a certain extent. In the 3 rd century BC, Syracuse was the center of commerce, art and science. As a youth of Syracuse Archimedes, he developed natural curiosity and a passion for problem solving. When he learned as much from the teacher as possible, Archimedes went to Egypt to study in Alexandria. Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 B.C. Alexander the Great gained his reputation in Archimedes' era with excellent research and scholarship.

In addition to his school at Euclid's Alexander School, Archimedes spent his entire life in Syracuse. Ancient Greek biographer Plutarch tied Archimedes to King Sirochus Hero II. He said Archimedes got so much reputation thanks to the relationship between Archimedes, King Hilo II and Jeron (child of Hilo II). He is a close friend of Gelon, helping Hiero solve complex problems very easily and completely surprised his friends. According to Plutarch, Archimedes is studying a mathematical chart when Roman soldiers ordered him to meet the general Marcus (he besieged Syracuse). But Archimedes refused to say that he had to complete his chart. Roman soldiers angrily killed Archimedes. General Marcus was angry at the death of Archimedes. Another general theory about the death of Archimedes was that he was killed when he surrendered to the Romans.

Archimedes died when the Roman army occupied Syracuse during the Second Poeni War in 212 B.C. Like almost everything about Archimedes' life, the exact situation of his death is not certain. Greek historian Plutarch announced three different last moments of Archimedes. In one version, Archimedes takes math charts into account when occupying the city. Archimedes was ordered by Roman soldiers to meet Roman generals, but Archimedes refused to say that he was unable to leave until he completed his work. The soldier was annoyed at refusing to kill Archimedes with a sword. In another version, Roman soldiers are going to kill Archimedes, Archimedes asked him to complete the work he was doing, but the soldier kills him anyway so that his work will never be completed I guess.
