Claudius Ptolemy, Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī, and Nicolaus Copernicus

What was the effect of the adoption of the Hindu-Arabic number system in Europe?

The Hindu-Arabic numeral system allows for more complicated and precise calculations than the Roman numerals because of the use of zero and the decimal system.

Where did the ideas of the Scientific Revolution come from?

The ideas and source of the Scientific Revolution came from the beliefs of the Roman, Greek, and Muslim scholars who preceded them. The ideas and technologies were passed around the Mediterranean area through trade.

Who were the three people who changed the views on anatomy?

Galen, Manṣūr ibn Muḥammad ibn Ilyās, and Andreas Vesalius

What was the effect of Linnaeus's classification?

His system enabled later scientists to see the relationship between the anatomies of different species and to eventually develop the theory of evolution.

Ideas that influenced were those developed by Roman, Greek, and Muslim beliefs and documents. Humanities were one of the main ideas that influenced the revolution.

What effects did Galileo's discoveries have after his death?

Now able to observe the rotation of planets and confirm Copernican views of the solar system.

Scholars.

What effects have Brand's discovery had?

Since he discovered phosphorus, in the future we can now use it in fertilizer to grow crops, to make matches, and explosives.

What was Hennig Brand's goal?

To turn other substances into other things.

What was the effect of Lavoisier's list of elements?

With the elements identified and isolated, scientists in modern times were able to create new substances like plastic and nuclear energy.

What was the Theory of Humors?

According to this theory, there were four humors, or important fluids in the human body: black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood.

What changes resulted from the Scientific Revolution?

Changed the way people looked at the world and how one finds the "truth" and provided later scientists with the tools they needed to make advance in technology that shaped the rest of global history.

What discoveries were made during the Scientific Revolution? What effects have they had?

Discoveries that were made during the Scientific Revolution were phosphorus, which today, phosphorus is used in fertilizer to grow crops, to make matches, and explosives. The Hindu-Arabic numeral system which allows for more complicated and precise calculations than the Roman numerals because of the use of zero and the decimal system. The Systema Naturae which categorized things into three kingdoms (animal, plant, and mineral), then further classified those kingdoms into classes, orders, genus, and species, based on the observation of the characteristics of the animals, plants, and minerals that were categorized. His system enabled later scientists to see the relationship between the anatomies of different species and to eventually develop the theory of evolution. The table of elements, with the elements identified and isolated, scientists in modern times were able to create new substances like plastic and nuclear energy. Galileo Galilei constructed a telescope which by using his telescope, he was able to observe the rotation of planets and confirm Copernican views of the solar system. The Isaac Newton created the laws of motion. His laws explained the movement of objects on Earth and the existence of gravity. They provided Newton and later scientists with an understanding of the movement of objects and role of forces that they could use to design complex machines that have fueled innovation to the present.

What contributions did Galileo make to scientific knowledge during the Renaissance?

He constructed a telescope and supported the Copernican theory of a sun-centered solar system.

What contributions did Newton make to scientific knowledge during the Renaissance?

He made contributions to the field of optics, but his most well known accomplishment is his laws of motion.

How did the Church respond to his views about the solar system?

He was forced to recant of his scientific views or risk being tortured, killed, or burned at the stake.

What effects did Newton's discoveries have after his death?

Newton's laws of motion explain the movement of objects on Earth and the existence of gravity. They provided Newton and later scientists with an understanding of the movement of objects and role of forces that they could use to design complex machines that have fueled innovation to the present.

What topics did scholars investigate during the Scientific Revolution?

Scholars questioned whether the Earth or Sun was at the center of the solar system, why things fall down instead up, how the human body works, and many other topics in astronomy, anatomy, mathematics, biology, chemistry, and physics.

What were Galileo's views about the solar system?

Supported the Copernican theory of a sun-centered solar system. Using his telescope, he was able to observe the rotation of planets and confirm Copernican views of the solar system.

How did people in Medieval Europe and scholars in the Scientific Revolution view the world and truth differently?

The people in the revolution viewed the world differently because they were no longer going by what was said instead they started to question the basis of the universe, human body, and a bunch of other topics. Because of relying on hearsay, they developed a system called the scientific method, this was used to give them a way to test all reasonable questions. The Scientific Revolution changed the way that people look at the world and how one finds "truth" and provided later scientists with the tools they needed to make advances in technology that shaped the rest of global history.

What was the Scientific Revolution?

Was a period of time from the 1500s through the 1700s in which scholars started to question their beliefs about the world and base their conclusions on observation and reason rather than spiritual belief or what organizations like the Catholic Church told them.
