Archimedes (287-212 BC) was a Greek mathematician and scientist, generally regarded as one of the greatest thinkers in history.
The First Doctor (PROSE: City at World's End) and the Eighth Doctor (PROSE: Fallen Gods) claimed to have met Archimedes.
The Sixth Doctor read his name in a collection of business cards of geniuses to consult for a problem of time slip. He defined him "fascinating chap, bit wet". (TV: The Two Doctors)
