Archytas of Tarentum
The mathematician and philosopher Archytas of Tarentum (428-350 B.C.) is considered to be the founder of mathematic mechanics and a leading head of the Pythagoreans. The city of Taranto in southern Italy was the center of the Pythagoreans. Archytas of Tarentum is said to have invented the screw and the block and tackle. He was an innovative thinker and practice-oriented, fundamental researcher. In his eyes, mathematics was the foundation of all knowledge and for the inner harmony of all things.
With his analytical thinking, Archytas made completely new discoveries. In the process, his considerations were always combined with concrete, practical applications. With our IT solutions, we also orient ourselves on the needs of people who work with applied information technology every day. Whenever Archytas of Tarentum reached the limits of the imagination of his contemporaries, he extended his hand a little further. That connects us to him as well.
