Alexandria's last renowned astronomer, Ptolemy, concluded that the earth at the center of the solar system, many agreed with this idea for 14 centuries
Mathematics (Jerry)
Elements, contained 465 carefully presented geometry propositions and proofs, Euclid's work is still the basis for courses in geometry
Archimedes of Syracuse, estimated accurately the value of pi, explained the law of lever
Physics
In their work on physics, Eratosthenes and Aristarchus used a geometry text compiled by Euclid.
Archimedes screw, a device that raised water from the ground and the compound pulley system
