Explores the major scientific and mathematical discoveries and achievements of the 17th century. The seventeenth century was a time of transition for the study of science and mathematics. The technological achievements of this time directly impacted both society and the future of science. This reference resource explores the major scientific and mathematical milestones of this era, examining them from both their scientific and sociological perspectives. Over fifty entries, arranged alphabetically, illustrate how this was a time marking the first wide-spread application of experimentation and mathematics to the study of science, an exciting time brought to life through this unique exploration. Here, students will find not only the familiar names like Galileo and Newton who are well-recognized for their contributions in science, but also the names of lesser-known scientists and inventors who challenged long-held doctrines and misbeliefs. The contributions of the scientists, mathemeticians and inventors of the seventeenth century would have a significant impact on the course of science into modern times.
