1. Aristotle made significant contributions to many fields of philosophy and science. He invented formal logic and explored the relationships between scientific disciplines, founding his own school called the Lyceum in Athens.
2. Archimedes discovered the relationship between the surface and volume of a sphere and cylinder and formulated Archimedes' principle relating buoyancy and floating bodies. He also invented the Archimedes screw still used to raise water.
3. Pythagoras made important mathematical and scientific discoveries including the Pythagorean theorem, properties of numbers, the five regular solids, sphericity of the Earth, and the planet Venus.

Aristotle- He made contributions to all fields of philosophy and science, he
invented the field of formal logic, and he identified the various scientific disciplines and explored their relationships to each other. Aristotle was also a teacher and founded his own school in Athens, known as the Lyceum 2. Archimedes-discovery of the relation between the surface and volume of a sphere and its circumscribing cylinder. He is known for his formulation of a hydrostatic principle (known as Archimedes' principle) and a device for raising water, still used, known as the Archimedes screw. 3. Pythagoras-mathematical and scientific discoveries, including the Pythagorean theorem, Pythagorean tuning, the five regular solids, the Theory of Proportions, the sphericity of the Earth, and the identity of the morning and evening stars as the planet Venus. 4. Galen –he was the first physician to use the pulse as a sign of illness. Some representative study areas included embryology, neurology, myology, respiration, reproductive medicine, and urology. He improved the science and use of drugs in therapeutics. 5. Galileo Galilei-compasses and balances to improved telescopes and microscopes, revolutionized astronomy and biology. Galilleo discovered craters and mountains on the moon, the phases of Venus, Jupiter's moons and the stars of the Milky Way.
