Heron of Alexandria was a Greek engineer, physicist and mathematician born around 10 CE in Alexandria, Egypt, where he lived and died around 70 CE. His main work consisted of three books covering measurement of surfaces and volumes, and included Heron's famous formula for calculating the area of a triangle using the lengths of its three sides. Some of Heron's most notable discoveries and inventions were machines for drawing water, siege engines, and formulas for calculating the surface areas and volumes of various geometric shapes.
