出版商概要
"No one has examined in such detail and with such patience how Galileo arrived at his results. Palmieri extends our understanding of what Galileo wanted to achieve and how he went about getting his pioneering results, and his book will be welcomed by everyone interested in the genesis of the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth-century." - Prof. William R. Shea Galileo Professor of History of Science University of Padua, Padova, Italy "Scholars go astray if they interpret Galileo's writings in the light of remembered elementary lessons in physics. Palmieri would have us enter the experimental scene in its complexity, by actual experiment if feasible or by computer simulation where the factors are multiple and numerical integration with variation of parameters is needed to discover what they portend." - Prof. Curtis Wilson St. John's College, Emeritus "A particular strength of this book is the way that it places Galileo in his intellectual context.
