DESCRIPTION:Archimedes' principle says that the upward buoyant
  force that is exerted on a body submerged in a fl
 uid is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.
  There is no mathematical literature on Archimedes
 ' principle exceptfor two articles co-authored by 
 the speaker. This is because the principle can be 
 easily derived from standard macroscopic laws of p
 hysics regarding pressure. I will show how the pri
 nciple can be derivedfrom Newtonian mechanics appl
 ied to "ideal gas" consisting of point particles. 
 Besides the derivation from a "lower level" theory
 \, the main&nbsp\; novelty is that the macroscopic
  floating object is allowed to move\, unlike in th
 e traditional proof.\nThe talk is based on joint r
 esearch with Jacek Małecki
