You keep asking Greek questions...you can't tell me that there isn't something you are supposed to have read about it first...Did you leave it at school or are you just too lazy to read it? Read what was assigned and then the answers will stand out. Read the questions first so you know what to look for.

Heronas of Alexandria was a Greek mathematician, engineer and inventor of the first century BC. He initially worked as shoemaker but he eventually decided to explore his ideas. He is better known as an engineer for his hydraulic mechanisms, simple machines and automations, but he was also an important mathematician of his time. He served as a director of the famous Technical School of Alexandria (maybe the world’s first polytechnic university).
He presented and operated the world’s first steam engine, consisted of a closed, spherical container, filled with water. When the water was heated and began to boil, the stream was relieved by two nozzles, configured in a polar alignment. The container was fixed in such a way that was allowed to rotate. The steam release caused a rotating motion of the container that could be used as a steam motor for various applications. The principle of this simple configuration is the same used today for jet propulsion.

The greek improved technology by:
1. Using the sea for trading
2. Stored crops and used surplus
3. Their building style and architecture is used on many famous buildings, including Buckingham Palace, and the White House.

The Greek played a major role in architecture, and they might have designed ways to construct and draw out plans for their buildings.
