Was born and worked in Syracuse (Greek city in
Sicily) 287 BCE and died in 212 BCE
Friend of King Hieron II
“Eureka!” (discovery of hydrostatic law)
Invented many mechanisms, some of which were used for the defence
of Syracuse
Other achievements in mechanics usually attributed to Archimedes
(the law of the lever, center of mass, equilibrium, hydrostatic pressure)
Used the method of exhaustions to show that the volume of sphere
is 2/3 that of the enveloping cylinder
According to a legend, his last words were “Stay away from my
diagram!”, address to a soldier who was about to kill him
was designed to find areas and volumes of
complicated objects (circles, pyramids,
spheres) using
◦ approximations by simple objects
(rectangles, triangles, prisms)
having known areas (or volumes)
Approximating the circle Approximating the pyramid
Let C(R) denote area of the circle of radius R

Example 7: Solve the equation 2x² + 12x – 18 = 0
by completing the square.
Solution:
Move the constant to the right side of the equation:
2x² + 12x = 18
This is important: For completing the square to work, the
coefficient of x2 must be 1. Divide every term in the equation by
2:
x² + 6x = 9
Here’s the key to completing the square: Take half of the
coefficient of the x term, square it, and add it to both sides.
In this problem, the x coefficient is 6, so take half of it (3) and
square that (3² = 9). Add the result (9) to both sides of the
equation:
x² + 6x + 9 = 9 + 9
x² + 6x + 9 = 18
At this point, if you’ve done everything correctly, the
left side of the equation will be factorable. In fact, it
will be a perfect square!
(x + 3)(x + 3) = 18
(x + 3)² = 18
To solve the equation, take the square root of both
sides. That will cancel out the exponent. Whenever
you do this, you have to add a ± sign in front of the
right side of the equation. This is always done when
square rooting both sides of any equation:
√(x + 3) ² = ± √18
x + 3 = ± √18
Solve for x, and that’s it. It would also be good form
to simplify into : x = -3 ± √18
x = -3 ± 3 √2
x = - 3 + 3 √2 x = - 3 - 3 √2
The quadratic formula
Set the equation equal to 0, and you’re halfway
there. Your equation will then look like this:
ax² + bx + c = 0
