A

Explanation:

Archimedes systematized the design of simple machines and the study of their functions and developed a rigorous theory of levers and the kinematics of the screw. His works contain a set of concrete principles upon which mechanics could be developed as a science using mathematics and reason.

The first calculation of π (Pi) was done by Archimedes of Syracuse (287-212 BC), one of the greatest mathematicians of the ancient world.
