Eminent Engineers Throughout History
Archimedes
PREAMBLE
Who's the most outstanding engineer of all time? That's an open question with no right or wrong answer, only opinions, theories and opportunities for debate. Thankfully, plenty of engineers had gone before us and paved the path to a modern world that grants us access to so many inventions - inventions that make our lives easier. So whether you agree with the list of the most outstanding engineers below or not, it will at least give you some food for thought.
Although the modern engineering industry owes gratitude to hundreds of innovators over time, those listed have to be the most influential engineers throughout history.
Archimedes (287 BC - 212 BC)
Archimedes of Syracuse was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor. He has had a lasting influence in these areas, and although very little is known about the man himself, his inventions have stood the test of time and laid the foundations for many modern designs.
The Archimedes screw, which can raise water efficiently, is undoubtedly the most famous of his inventions.
His other mathematical achievements include deriving an accurate approximation of pi; defining and investigating the spiral that now bears his name; and devising a system using exponentiation for expressing vast numbers. He was also the first to apply mathematics to physical phenomena, founding hydrostatics, statics, and defensive war machines to protect his native Syracuse from invasion.
Archimedes died during the siege of Syracuse, where a Roman soldier killed him.
