Galileo was contributed a lot to us today because he had major discoveries in math‚ astronomy‚ physics and engineering. Even though he had an unideal childhood‚ Galileo went to college at the University of Pisa. He also began teaching at the age of 17. In 1568 he invented the hydrostatic balance. this is used to measure the “specific gravity” of a gemstone. This is something that people use today in gemology. He also gave private math lessons to children in florence and his college. In 1593‚ Galileo

While both Galileo and Descartes advocate a more mathematical natural philosophy‚ what they advocate greatly differ from one another. Overall‚ Galileo tries to relate objects in terms of proportions and uses more Archimedean principles like Archimedes’ work on floating bodies and his simple machines. Because of this‚ Galileo’s natural philosophy is mechanical. It is clear that Galileo strives to make natural philosophy a discipline of mathematics. He tries to make mathematics a more respectable science
