    Extractions: I n the early 1600's Galileo was one of the first scientists to systematically investigate a question, using well planned, non-biased experiments in order to draw a logical conclusion. At the time others were using the more subjective Greek method of investigation, often drawing conclusions to fit their own views and disregarding or imaginatively explaining away results of their experiments that disagreed. G alileo Galilei, probably the only scientist to be popularly known by his first name only, was born on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. Galileo was born into a once-noble family. His father, Vincenzo Galilei, made his living as a lutenist, composer, theorist, singer, and teacher. He and his wife noticed Galileo's interest for maths at an early age and tried to dissuade him from this non-profitable career. They intended him to follow a medical profession, and sent him to a university in Pisa to do so, but while there Galileo accidentally wandered into a geometry lecture and was instantly captivated. A fter talking to his father, Galileo left the university without a degree. He taught privately in Florence for a while before becoming head of mathematics at the University of Pisa. It was during this time he is said to have dropped two cannonballs, one ten times heavier than the other, from the top of the Leaning Tower, in order to demonstrate his theory that the masses are irrelevant to the speed of two falling objects. He also invented a

During this period it is likely he came to know Galileo, becoming one of his closest pupils and friends. In 1626 he was awarded the chair of mathematics at Pisa, as successor to Castelli. On Aggiunti see FAVARO 1913-14 Vincenzio Antinori (1792 - 1865) was entrusted by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Leopoldo II, to arrange the great collection of manuscripts of Galileo and his disciples saved in Grand Ducal library. Antinori wrote an essay on Galileo's philosophy (Della filosofia di Galileo, in ANTINORI, 1868, 1-96), and left in manuscript an unfinished biography of the scientist. See V. ANTINORI, Della vita e delle opere di Galileo Galilei. Libri Quattro, BNF, Ms. II, V, 111. On Antinori, see DE CARO 1961 Andrea Arrighetti (1592 - 1672) studied mathematics at Pisa under Benedetto Castelli. In 1613 he became member of the Crusca Academy, and was later appointed as superintendent of fortifications in Tuscany. Arrighetti was made senator in 1644, and, in 1668, the Duke Ranuccio Farnese conferred him the title of Count. studied with Galileo at Florence. In 1623 he became Consul of the Accademia Fiorentina.

    Extractions: Manuscript Collections of Galileo and his Disciples Braccio Manetti and Vincenzo Viviani Galileo Galilei: a folder with manuscripts pertaining to motion It is very likely that Galileo himself gathered the writings of Codex 72 in a sort of folder. It was indeed not an unusual practice for him to collect his studies together according to their subject. Thus, for example, Ms. Gal. 42, which holds the papers dealing with the controversy concerning hydrostatics of the years 1611-1615, has a folio bearing what probably was the title of the gathered papers: "Several fragments pertaining to the treatise on bodies in water" ("Diversi fragmenti attenenti al trattato delle cose che stanno su l'acqua"); see Biblioteca Nazionale di Firenze, Ms. 42, folio 19v. Similarly, the present Ms. Gal. 71 was probably designated by the (now lost) title "De motu antiquiora," see VIVIANI 1674 , p. 104; Biblioteca Nazionale di Firenze, Ms. Gal. 11, f. 144v; NELLI 1793 , II, p. 759. The same perhaps occurred in the case of Ms. 72, whose f. 61r displays the autograph entry: "Attinentia ad motum" ("Things pertaining to motion"). Most probably, the folder of the studies on motion was among those Galilean papers and books which, in 1633, were temporarily entrusted to

To learn about the shape of the Temple, we can observe the intersection of the surfaces of a sphere and a cylinder: the intersection is a very interesting figure-eight curve. The Temple of Viviani is mentioned in Professor Struik's book on differential geometry. The name was intriguing enough for us to want to know more about the origins of the problem. Looking up the name Viviani in the Brown library database, as well as in the indexes of other differential geometry books, we were able to gain further knowledge about the history of this problem. The Viviani (or also Viviani della Robbia) family was an old and well-established family of Florence. There are books written about their history, autobiographies of different members, and mention of them for several centuries. The Viviani of the temple is a certain Vincenzo Viviani, who lived in Florence from 16 to 1703. He wrote several mathematical books, and had contacts with Galileo. The John Hay library at Brown has a book by Galileo that belonged to Viviani, and they corresponded. In 1692, Viviani wrote the book for which he is most remembered, the one in which he mentions the temple: Aenigma geometricum de miro opificio testudinis quadrabilis hemisphaericae, auctore D.

    Extractions: By: Albert Van Helden Summary: A brief biography of Vincenzo Viviani (1622-1703). Figure 1: Vincenzo Viviani Vincenzo Viviani was born and raised in Florence where early on he attracted attention for his abilities in mathematics. In 1639, at age 17, he became the student, secretary and assistant of Galileo (now blind) in Arcetri. He became court mathematician of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Ferdinand II, in 1647, and a decade later he became one of the first members of the Grand Duke's experimental academy, the Accademia del Cimento. He became a foreign member of the French Academy upon its founding in 1666. Figure 2: Vincenzo and Galileo During his long career, Viviani published a number of books on mathematical and scientific subjects. He edited the first edition of Galileo's collected works (1655-1656), and worked tirelessly to have his master's memory rehabilitated. When, in the 1730s, the Church finally allowed Galileo to be reburied in a grave with an elaborate monument, the monument in the church of Santa Croce was constructed with the help of funds left by Viviani for that purpose. His own remains were moved to Galileo's new grave as well. Figure 3: Viviani's House Comments, questions, feedback, criticisms?

The theorem is named after Vincenzo Viviani Let P a , P b , and P c be the pedal points (projections) of a point P on the side lines BC, AC, and AB of ABC. Then the theorem claims that h = PP a + PP b + PP c where h is the length of the altitudes of ABC. Consider a shifted copy A'B'C' of ABC such that P lies on B'C'. Let PS be parallel to AB, Q be the foot of the perpendicular from C' onto PS, and L the foot of the perpendicular from P to A'C', as in the applet. Then h = C'Q + PP c = PL + PP c = P b L + PP b + PP c = PP a + PP b + PP c A slightly incorrect version of the above appears as a proof without words in [ Nelsen , p. 15]. A direct proof is also pretty simple. As long as point P is not outside ABC, we have

    Extractions: Galileo Galilei was an Italian natural philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician who made fundamental contributions to the sciences of motion, astronomy, and strength of materials and to the development of the scientific method. His formulation of (circular) inertia, the law of falling bodies, and parabolic trajectories marked the beginning of a fundamental change in the study of motion. His insistence that the book of nature was written in the language of mathematics changed natural philosophy from a verbal, qualitative account to a mathematical one in which experimentation became a recognized method for discovering the facts of nature. Finally, his discoveries with the telescope revolutionized astronomy and paved the way for the acceptance of the Copernican heliocentric system, but his advocacy of that system eventually resulted in an Inquisition process against him. Early life and career Galileo was born in Pisa, Tuscany, on February 15, 1564, the oldest son of Vincenzo Galilei, a musician who made important contributions to the theory and practice of music and who may have performed some experiments with Galileo in 1588-89 on the relationship between pitch and the tension of strings.
