Abstract

Galileo's use of mathematics to predict experimental results is considered a cornerstone of modern science. He made significant contributions to the physical sciences, and his defense of the Copernican system brought him into conflict with the Catholic Church, which found him guilty of heresy, banned his works in 1633 and placed him under house arrest.
