Alexandria, located at the mouth of the Nile, was the center of knowledge, culture and trade in the world at that time, with a large number of scholars and talents, and was praised as "the capital of wisdom" by the world. Literature, mathematics, astronomy and medicine are all well developed.
Archimedes studied in Alexandria with many famous mathematicians, including the famous geometry master Euclid. Archimedes studied and lived here for many years. He absorbed the excellent cultural heritage of the East and ancient Greece, which had a great influence on his later scientific career and laid the foundation for Archimedes to engage in scientific research in the future.
