Description

Explore the evolution of modern mechanics through this scholarly volume from Springer. This book examines how seventeenth-century mechanics was built from materials inherited from Antiquity and transformed through the Middle Ages and the sixteenth century. It tracks the transmission of knowledge across various textual traditions and multiple disciplines. Readers will find a deep investigation into how ancient and medieval natural philosophy, statics, mathematics, and the theory and design of machines shaped scientific thought. The text focuses on specific historical moments where conflicts occurred between different textual traditions or between established practices and new ideas. This work provides a detailed look at the intellectual foundations that existed before the Scientific Revolution, making it a valuable resource for students and historians of science and mathematics.
