The technological achievements of this time directly impacted both society and the future of science. This reference resource explores the major scientific and mathematical milestones of this era, and examines them from both their scientific and sociological perspectives. Over fifty entries, arranged alphabetically, illustrate how this was a time marking the first wide-spread application of experimentation and mathematics to the study of science--an exciting time brought to life through this unique exploration. Students will find not only the familiar names like Galileo and Newton who are well-recognized for their contributions in science, but they will also encounter the names of lesser-known scientists and inventors who challenged long-held doctrines and beliefs. The contributions of the scientists, mathemeticians, and inventors of the 17th century would have a significant impact on the course of science into modern times. This impact is explored in detail to provide an understanding of how scientific study affects everyday life and how it evolves to provide a better understanding of our world. 410 0$aGroundbreaking scientific experiments, inventions, and discoveries through the ages. 606 $aScience$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aTechnology$xHistory$y17th century 615 0$aScience$xHistory 615 0$aTechnology$xHistory 676 $a509/.032 700 $aWindelspecht$b Michael$f1963-$01799091 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962132103321 996 $aGroundbreaking scientific experiments, inventions, and discoveries of the 17th century$94342241 997 $aUNINA
