Archimedes of Syracuse was an ancient Greek mathematician, physicist and engineer. Although little is known of his life, he is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity. In addition to making discoveries in the fields of mathematics and geometry, he is credited with producing machines that were well ahead of their time. He laid the foundations of hydrostatics, and explained the principle of the lever, the device on which mechanics is based. His early advances in calculus included the first known summation of an infinite series with a method that is still used today. The historians of Ancient Rome showed a strong interest in Archimedes and wrote accounts of his life and works, while the relatively few copies of his treatises that survived through the Middle Ages were an influential source of ideas for scientists during the Renaissance. The death of Archimedes occurred during the Siege of Syracuse, when he was killed by a Roman soldier despite orders that he should not be harmed. Carl Friedrich Gauss is said to have remarked that Archimedes was one of the three epoch-making mathematicians, with the others being Sir Isaac Newton and Ferdinand Eisenstein.

'''Archimedes van Syracuse''' was ’n antiek Griekse wiskundige, fisikus en ingenieur. Alhoewel min is ken van sy lewe, hy is aansien as een van die leidende wetenskaplikes in klassieke oudheid. Benewens maak ontdekkings in die veld van wiskunde en meetkunde, hy is krediteer met produseer masjiene dat was voor van hul tyd. Hy het gelê die fondamente van hidrostatika, en verklaar die beginsel van die hefboom, die toestel waarop werktuigkundiges is gebaseer. Sy vroeg naderkoms in analise sluit die eerste bekende samevatting van ’n oneindige reeks met ’n metode dat is nog gebruik vandag. Die geskiedkundiges van Antieke Rome toon ’n sterke belangstelling in Archimedes en skryf rekeninge van sy lewe en werk, terwyl die relatief min kopieë van sy verhandelings dat oorlewe deur die Middel Ouderdomme was ’n invloedryke bron van idees vir wetenskaplikes tydens die Renaissance.

'''Archimedes van Syracuse''' was ’n antieke Griekse wiskundige, fisikus en ingenieur. Alhoewel min oor sy lewe bekend is, word hy beskou as een van die leidende wetenskaplikes in die klassieke oudheid. Benewens sy ontdekkings in die veld van wiskunde en meetkunde, word hy ook gekrediteer met die produsering van masjiene wat hul tyd vooruit was. Hy het die fondamente van hidrostatika gelê en die beginsel van die hefboom verklaar, die toestel waarop meganika gebaseer is. Sy vroeë vorderings in kalkulus sluit in die eerste bekende samevatting van ’n oneindige reeks, met ’n metode wat vandag gebruik word. Die geskiedkundiges van Antieke Rome het ’n sterk belangstelling in Archimedes getoon en verslae van sy lewe en werk geskryf, terwyl die relatief min kopieë van sy verhandelings wat deur die Middeleeue oorleef het ’n invloedryke bron van idees was vir wetenskaplikes tydens die Renaissance.

Afghanistan is ’n kultureel gemengde nasie, tussen die Oost en die West, en hê het gewees antieke middelpunt van handel en migrasie. Dit hê ’n belangrik geostrategiese lokasie, verbind Suid Asië, Sentrale Asië en Midde-Ooste saam. Tydens sy lang geskiedenis, die land hê het gesien verskeie indringers en verowerare, terwyl aan die ander kant, plaaslike entiteite invaded die omliggende uitgestrek streke na vorm ryke na hulleself. Ahmad Shah Durrani skep ’n groot ryk in die middel van die agtiende eeu, met sy hoofstad by Kandahar. Vervolgens, meeste van sy gebiede was gee na voormalige nabygeleë lande. In die 19th eeu, Afganistan word ’n bufferstaat in Die Groot Wedstryd het gespeel tussen die Britse Ryk en Russiese Ryk. Op 19 Augustus, 1919, volg die derde Anglo-Afghan oorlog, die land herwin vol onafhanklikheid uit die Verenigde Koninkryk oor sy uitlandse sake.
