Tycho Brahe

• Discovered supernova in the constellation of
  Cassiopeia in 1572

• King Frederick II died in 1588
• The new king withdrew support for Tycho and he
  was removed from his observatory
• In 1601, Tycho Brahe accumulated most accuate
  pre-telescope astronomical data
• His data was later used by his assistant Johannes
  Kepler

4
Copernican Universe

• The earth is one of the planets that rotates
  around the sun
• Nicholas Copernican
• His theory the sun is the center of the universe
• 3 assumptions

5
Galileo Galilei

• Mathematician
• First to see the four moons that orbit Jupiter
• Saw unknown stars
• Trained the telescope

6
Johannes Kepler

• Born December 1571, in Wurttemberg Germany
• Attended University of Tubingen, studied theology
  and the classics
• Introduced to Copernicus theory of a
  heliocentric universe
• Gave up being a clergyman, and left Tubingen to
  become chair of Astronomy and mathematics in
  Austria

7

• Kepler devised a complex hypothesis describing
  how the planets are distanced
• 1596, he published a treatise entitled Mysterium
  Cosmographicum
• First written defense of Copernicus theory of a
  helocentic universe
• Tycho Brahe was so impressed with Keplers work
  that in 1600 he hired Kepler as an assistant

8

• Kepler published in 1609 Astronomia Nova
• included a calculation of the orbit of the planet
  Mars
• Used the theory that planetary orbits were
  elliptical and not cyclical

• The Law of Ellipses
• The Equal-Areas Law
• The Harmonic Law

9
Telescope

• Galileo was the first person to use the telescope
  to seriously study the heavens
• Hans Lippershey

10
Sir Isaac Newton
December 25, 1642 - March 31,1727

• If I have been able to see further, it was only
  because I stood on the shoulders of giants

• Attended Trinity college in Cambridge
• Studied Aristotle and Plato
• Got Bachelors degree in April 1665
• Became a professor in Cambridge in 1669
• Elected president of royal society in 1703
• Knighted in 1705

12
Accomplishments

• Gravity
• Mass vs. Weight
• Trinity Bridge

• Absolute Motion
• The newton

13
Written Work

• Quaestiones Quadam Philosaphicae (1649)
• Principia (1687)
• Amicus Plato, Amicus Aristotle, magis amica
  veritas-Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my
  friend, but truth is my best friend
• De Analysi per Aequationes numeri terminorum
  infinitas Analysis by infinite series
• Of Colours (during time of black death)

14
3 Laws of Motion

• Inertia A body remains in a state of rest until
  it is compelled to change by an outside force
• Force Law Change in motion is proportional to
  the force impressed on it
• Action and Reaction For every action, there is
  an equal opposite reaction

15
The Scientific Method

• Frances Bacon inductive reasoning
• Galileo testing method
• Descartes four laws of reasoning
• Boyle teleology
• Hooke science improved society
• Newton four new rules for reasoning
