Most of the things you know about science would have dazzled and bewildered Archimedes. But many of the things you about science began with him. The curious, logical, wonderful, exploring mind of Archimedes began several branches of science, discovered many scientific laws and principles, and so very much more. As an inventor a few of the amazing things he created were the Archimedes screw to drain and irrigate fields, a machine to show eclipses of the sun and moon, and he built war machines to defend his city of Syracuse from the Romans. In spite of all these achievements, Archimedes considered inventing an amusement, and mathematics his real work. He wrote brilliant proofs and theories on almost every mathematical subject. Jeanne Bendick introduces us to Archimedes through humorous yet easy-to-understand explanations of his inventions and contributions—and shows us that the door to modern science opened through the brilliant mind of Archimedes.
