Eratosthenes, a Greek mathematician and geographer, is best known for his work in calculating the Earth's circumference and developing a system for finding prime numbers, known as the Sieve of Eratosthenes. His method of measuring the angle of the sun's rays at different locations allowed him to estimate the Earth's size with remarkable accuracy for his time. Additionally, his contributions to geography, including creating one of the earliest maps of the known world, laid the groundwork for future cartographers and scientists. His work exemplified the integration of mathematics and natural philosophy, influencing both fields significantly.
