Although much of his life is unknown, he is still a great contributor to mathematics, in which he did modern calculus and associated mathematics to physical occurrences, Founding Hydro statistics, which include an exclamation of the principle of the liver. Archimedes has also originated an exact number for pie, explaining the spiral it's name is known for,and making a system we use today of exponents.

One of the most interesting inventions I believe that Archimedes invented was the Archimedes' screw this device moved water traveling up through it and forcing water up into upper level irrigation canals which was important for farmers to get water at the time.
