mid seventeenth century this way of thinking changed the study of our world‚ and brought the scientific revolution. There are two mathematicians that played a major role in bringing the Copernican theory into mainstream thinking. The first being Johannes Kepler of Germany who showed that planetary orbits are elliptical and not circular like the Ptolemaic theory said. Then the second being Galileo Galilei who invented the telescope. With the telescope he was able to observe that space was not a perfect

The Evolution of Mathematics of Celestial Motion Through Aristotle’s crystalline spheres‚ the Copernican Revolution‚ and Newton’s understanding of Kepler’s laws of planetary motion; it becomes clear that mathematics was the driving force that guided us through the evolution of celestial motion. One of the first to theorize the motion of both terrestrial and celestial bodies was Aristotle around 330BCE. To this philosopher‚ the universe had always been eternally geocentric. On Earth the concept

Copernicus believed that the sun was the center of the universe and that the earth and all the other planets revolved around it. Because Copernicus’s idea contradicted the church and the senses‚ few people believed it. In the late 1500’s and early 1600’s‚ Johannes Kepler used mathematics to test Copernicus’s theory. After many calculations and slight changes to Copernicus’s ideas‚ he decided that the heliocentric theory could be mathematically supported. In 1632‚ Galileo Galilei published his proof to the
