Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
Galileo was a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, inventor, philosopher
Last time:
- We emphasized Galileo as a mathematician who formulated concepts and laws to make clear, experimentally-testable statements
Today:
- We emphasize Galileo’s insight and boldness to propose the laws as universal principles that are the foundations for further developments physics
Still more about Galileo later !
