Editor's Notes
- #2: Start interactive: get a sense of the composition of the audience (how many in engineering, business, how many are actively working on an idea) This afternoon we are talking about business plans. So it only seems logical to me that we start with the story of Archimedes! Archimedes of Syracuse (c. 287 BC – c. 212 BC) was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. Archimedes is generally considered to be the greatest mathematician of antiquity and one of the greatest of all time. Invented a method for determining the volume of an object with an irregular shape New crown in the shape of a laurel wreath had been made for King Hiero II, whether it was of solid gold, or whether silver had been added by a dishonest goldsmith Crown would displace an amount of water equal to its own volume. By dividing the weight of the crown by the volume of water displaced, the density of the crown could be obtained. This density would be lower than that of gold if cheaper and less dense metals had been added. Archimedes then took to the streets naked, so excited by his discovery that he had forgotten to dress, crying "Eureka!" (Greek: meaning "I have found it!")
