How did Archimedes influence the study of math and science?

Archimedes made an important mathematical estimate of pi by using polygons inside and outside a circle to find upper and lower bounds for its value. He did not find an exact value, but his method greatly improved the study of pi. The other choices do not describe his contributions: he neither invented physics nor discovered geometry, and he did not teach that Earth is the center of the universe.
