One of today's industries that Archimedes is well-known for helping to develop and advance is the field of engineering. Engineering uses a significant amount of mathematics to develop and design countless elements of life, and industry. Archimedes has long since been credited with many of the concepts still used in the engineering field today.
At one point in his life a king commissioned him to design a very large ship that could be used for travel as well as a naval warship.
He did so and it was reputed to be an amazing vessel with garden decorations and a work out area.
Archimedes was well-known for developing concepts that were used much later in society. One of the many concepts that he developed and used during his lifetime, also helped lead to the later development of lasers.
It was during a war that he discovered using a burning glass to force sunlight to focus on attack...
This was very helpful to the military in his time but also provided a solid foundation from which laser beams were discovered in modern history (Biography (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes#Biography).
Archimedes has also been credited with improving the power and accuracy of the catapult, and with inventing the odometer during the First Punic War. The odometer is said to have been a cart with a gear mechanism that dropped a ball into a container after each mile traveled (Biography (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes#Biography)."
It is amazing to reflect on the great mind of Archimedes who was 2,000 years ahead of his time in the area of scientific and mathematical equations and concepts. It is difficult to imagine what he would have been capable of inventing today.

curriculum books have been written since the turn of the [20th] century; each with a different version of what 'curriculum' means (Ackerman, 1988). I define classroom curriculum design as the sequencing and pacing of content along with the experiences students have with that content. My use of the qualifier classroom is important. By definition, I am considering those decisions regarding sequencing, pacing, and experiences that are the purview of
In other words, at every seven courses of stone, a layer of reed matting was laid and weep-holes and drainage shafts were placed, thus preserving the ziggurat from water damage. Eventually the building fell into disrepair. Later, King Nabonidus restored the Ur ziggurat, along with other temples. Stiebing believes this was because he revered his mother's gods (285). Nabonidus claims in the clay cuneiform tablets found in the tower to
