Biography and Work of Eratosthenes : Father of Geography

Eratosthenes of Cyrene (c. 276 BCE-192 or 194 BCE) was an ancient Greek mathematician, poet, and astronomer who is known as the father of geography.
Eratosthenes was the first person to use the word "geography" and other geographical terms that are still in use today, and his efforts to calculate the circumference of the Earth and the distance from the Earth to the Sun paved the way for our modern understanding of the cosmos.
Among his other many accomplishments were the creation of the first map of the world and the invention of an algorithm known as the sieve of Eratosthenes, which is used to identify prime numbers.
