During the Scientific Revolution there was several developments which originated from medieval thinking.

During the Scientific Revolution explorers used information that was previously found during medieval scientific thinking, and continued to build upon and find out more information about the world. The Scientific Revolution Europeans had built upon ideas from the medieval era that allowed them to discover a new world, and also allowed them to create new ideas and representations of past ideas. Developments during the Scientific Revolution that continued to build upon medieval thinking was shown through introducing the Jesuit attitude which rested upon an innovative style of teaching and curriculum, and paired with new emphasis on mathematics. Another major way the Scientific Revolution built of medieval thinking was through using previous work such as On the Nature of Things along with many other forms of Roman Learning, as well as through studying Classical Greek.
