Archimedes was a famous Greek mathematician and inventor born in 287 BC in Syracuse, Sicily. Some of his notable achievements included inventing the Archimedes screw, testing the purity of King Heiro's crown, and developing military inventions like the claw of Archimedes and burning mirrors which he used to help defend Syracuse from Roman invaders for several years. However, in 212 BC the Romans finally conquered Syracuse and Archimedes was killed by a Roman soldier while deep in thought working on a mathematical problem, despite Archimedes' request not to disturb his work.

269 BC: Archimedes goes to Egypt to study at Alexandria. 263 BC: Archimedes returns to Syracuse He invents the Archimedes Screw He tests the purity of King Heiro II’s crown. He works for the military (mainly inventing) 215 BC: Civil War in Syracuse 214 BC: With the help of Archimedes’ inventions (Claw of archimede, Heat Ray/Burning Mirrors), He helps keep the Romans away 212 Bc: Romans invade Syracuse and a Roman soldier kills Archimedes
Archimede’s last words were ‘Do not disturb my circles.’ A Roman
soldier commanded him to meet General Marcellus, and at the time, Archimedes was pondering over a math problem. He told the soldier to not disturb his circles, and the soldier killed him in rage. Ironically, Marcellus was upset as he considered Archimedes a great asset to math and science.
