Please note that if your order ships in multiple boxes, package components may not all be in the same box. The package item number is also listed at the bottom of your packing slip for reference. On your packing slip, package components are picked and packed individually and are identified with the code "PKGCMP" in the price column. Any backordered components will ship separately as they become available. In-stock components will ship according to our normal shipping time. When you order a package, you are charged one price for all package items. Because most package items or components are also sold separately and may be components of multiple packages, these items may not have the same inventory availability at any point in time. Although packages are sets, items are not physically bundled together. Any item sold as a package on our website is identified by a unique alpha-numeric item number (such as "APH1AB"). A listing of individual items that make up a package is provided on the package item's product detail page along with real-time item availability of those items.

He wrote brilliant proofs and theories on almost every mathematical subject. In spite of all these achievements, Archimedes considered inventing an amusement, and mathematics his real work. The curious, logical, wonderful, exploring mind of Archimedes founded several branches of science, discovered many scientific laws and principles, and so very much more.Īs an inventor, he created the Archimedes screw to drain and irrigate fields, a machine that showed eclipses of the sun and moon, and designed war machines to defend his city of Syracuse from the Romans. But many of the things you know about science began with him. Most of the things you know about science would have dazzled and bewildered Archimedes.
