Nicomedes was an ancient Greek mathematician who lived during the Hellenistic period, around the 2nd century BCE. He is best known for his contributions to geometry, particularly in relation to the concepts of conic sections and the construction of geometrical figures. One of his notable achievements is the invention of the "Nicomedean spiral," which is a type of spiral that can be used to solve problems related to the squaring of the circle.
