We know that Archimedes was a native of Syracuse , Sicily and that much of his scientific and inventive works were conducted in this particular Eastern Sicilian city during the 200'S BC/BCE. However, did Archimedes ever spend any length of time in Alexandria, Egypt, specifically at the city's Library and its adjacent college? Did he work as a type of Research Fellow for the Library-(similar to a Research Fellow at the Library of Congress)?

If Archimedes did spend time at the Alexandrian Library, did he draw upon the numerous scientific and mathematical papyri and scrolls within the Library?
