Archimedes is famous for his work with many different mathematical discoveries including:-finding the areas and volumes of planar shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles-finding the volumes of 3D shapes like spheres and cylinders-approximating pi by circumscribing and inscribing circles into a 96 sided figure

I love math and so did Archimedes

Along with mathematical discoveries, Archimedes also made some physical discoveries too such as the Archimedes screw(bottom left) and the Archimedes claw (bottom right).
