(circa 287 – 212 BC)
Just like Euclid before him very little is known about the life of this outstanding sage. Still, there is no doubt that he grossly advanced Pure and Applied Mathematics. Although some people consider him the greatest of all the ancient mathematicians, my research-findings (which were based on overall Ability, Versatility, Productivity and Developmental Influences) indicated otherwise. They gave Euclid ample edge over him due to his extraordinary influence and productivity. Nonetheless, it must be acknowledged that Archimedes lent his brilliance to several early developments, which paved the way for modern maths. His geometrical investigations complimented the preceding efforts of Pythagoras, Eudoxus and Euclid. Multifarious quests affirmed that he was an indefatigable researcher, who excelled in both theoretical and practical works. But I found no evidence to justify those hypes surrounding the claims that he was the best of the old bloc. Based on the fact that he lived three centuries after Pythagoras, and approximately four generations after Eudoxus and Euclid, the algorithms of his era were much more advanced and established: just as succeeding works were significantly superior to anything he envisaged. Also, a variety of machines (including screws, pulleys and claws) attributed to him, were developed and used by the Egyptians centuries prior. Needless to stress that those fabrications about him fostering calculus are risible. With that said, I attest that his (verifiable) accomplishments are grandiose. Archimedes’ vignette is embossed on IMU’s Fields Medal. A lunar crater and a lunar mountain range are also dedicated to him.

There are few myths and hypes about him, but there is also something extraordinary.
Awesome

Thank you very much.
Definitely one of the greatest math geniuses
Wonderful guy!
Phenomenal!
I appreciate how you hit the nail on the head.
Great and reputable, but also overrated.
Very good assessment!
Among the best, if all that’s said about him is true.
Happy that I’m not alone in suspecting certain things about Archimedes.
I loved your posts. Even as a Greek man I am not convinced Archimedes did all they said he did.
