An ancient Greek mathematician and engineer (c. 287-212 BCE) famous for discovering principles of buoyancy and inventing war machines.
Greek name 'Archimēdēs' (ἀρχι- 'arch-' meaning 'chief' + mēdos 'thought'). He lived in Syracuse, Sicily and is considered one of history's greatest mathematicians.
Legend says Archimedes ran naked through the streets shouting 'Eureka!' (I found it!) when he discovered buoyancy in the bath—his excitement was so great he forgot his clothes, but his principle revolutionized physics forever!
