Description

Explore the life and scientific legacy of Thomas Harriot in this academic volume from Routledge. Edited by Professor Robert Fox, this work is based on the annual Harriot lectures delivered at Oriel College, Oxford, between 2000 and 2009. It serves as a direct companion to the earlier publication, Thomas Harriot: An Elizabethan Man of Science. This collection of papers examines Harriot's major accomplishments as a mathematician and his role within the scientific community of early modern England. Readers will find detailed investigations into why Harriot did not receive the same level of fame as his contemporary, Galileo. The text also looks at his connection to his patron, Walter Ralegh, and his specific contributions to the era's scientific developments. This book is a valuable resource for those studying the history of mathematics, exploration, and natural philosophy during the Elizabethan period.
