• 3 laws of planetary motion 

  • Law of ellipses 

  • Law of equal area

  • Law of harmonies 

Galileo Galilei 

• He is considered the father of science, he gives us the telescope, He is the first person to say 

  • saturn has rings

• First person to introduce gravity 

• 3 laws

  • Law of interia 

    • Bodies in motion stay in motion 

  • Fundaments law of dynamics 

    • Velocities of objects change when outside force is applied 

  • Law of reciprocal action 

    • Every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

• Issac newton created calculus 

  • study of rate of change 

Galen (Acient medicine) 

• Galen will write a book “ on the elements according to Hippocrates” where he describes 2 types of blood, good or bad so he supported blood phlegm (thats when he used leches to suck out blood to make it pure)

• The astrolabe and the compass will allow the explores to navigate during trips and in planning trips 

• Cartography, map making was improved during this time period because of the use of longitude and latitude, there were 3 motivations for exploration gold, god, glory

Prince henry the navigator of portugal will help with the improvement of cartography by starting a navigational school which is why the first explorers came from portugal

•  this first place the portuguese explored was the west coast of africa

• after establishing trade the porgugese also started trading african slaves
