From “Ta Physika” to Physics – Volume XLII

As discussed previously, during the medieval era in Europe, mathematics did not play a significant role in universities. The quadrivium—arithmetic, geometry, music, astronomy—was part of undergraduate programs, but only to a limited extent. Instructors, or those with a magister title, often delivered courses through lotteries; receiving a mathematics assignment was generally considered undesirable. However, outside […]

From “ta physika” to Contemporary Physics – Chapter 43

Galileo Galilei’s confrontation with the Roman Catholic Church famously initiated with the “Letter to Castelli,” penned in December 1613. The correspondence was inspired by a dinner dialogue in Pisa that included Grand Duke Cosimo II de’ Medici, philosopher Cosimo Boscaglia, and Benedetto Castelli. Boscaglia contested the heliocentric theory, referencing Biblical inconsistencies, to which Castelli, a […]
