Archimedes Of Syracuse

Archimedes Of Syracuse
287 BC - 212 BC
Archimedes was the greatest mathematician of his age. His contributions in geometry revolutionised the subject and his methods anticipated the integral calculus 2,000 years before Newton and Leibniz. He was also a thoroughly practical man who invented a wide variety of machines including pulleys and the Archimidean screw pumping device.

It'd be great somebody put some subtitles on this.

@Bla31n Rome attacked Syracuse during the Second Punic War. Archimedes' military inventions helped hold off the might of Rome for 2 years or so. After the Romans finally broke into the city, a Roman soldier killed Archimedes according to historical accounts. The Roman military leaders were hoping to capture him alive to gain access to his talents. Archimedes was deeply concerned with advancing mathematical knowledge, and he used methods very similar to those employed now in calculus.
