Archimedes • The most famous scientist in the Hellenistic period. • Most known for establishing the mathematical constant pi. • Also a distinguished inventor • Archimedes screw “Give me a lever and a place to stand on and I will move the earth” Lever: To multiply mechanical force that can be applied to another object.
