Biography of Galileo Galilei
Galileo, who was born in Pisa when it belonged to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, was the eldest of his seven brothers and the son of a Florentine mathematician and musiciannamed Vincenzo Galilei, who wanted his eldest son to study medicine. The Galilei, who were a family of minor nobility and made their living through trade, were responsible for the education ofGalileo to 10 years age at which passed by a religious named James Borhini neighbor when her parents moved to Florence. Through the mediation of this, the little Galileo came to the convent of Santa Mariade Vallombrosa (Florence) and received more religious training led him to consider joining the religious life, something that upset her father. That's why Vincenzo Galileo, a man took a very skepticaleye infection he suffered his son to get the convent grounds of "lack of care." Two years later, Galileo was enrolled by his father at the University of Pisa, where he studied Medicine, Philosophyand Mathematics.
In 1583 Galileo began in mathematics through Ostilio Ricci, a family friend, a pupil of Tartaglia. Ricci had a habit, rare at that time, to link theory to experimental practice.Attracted by the work of Euclid, with no interest in medicine and still less by disputes scholastic and Aristotelian philosophy, Galileo redirected his studies to mathematics. Since then, he is a followerof Pythagoras, Plato and Archimedes and contrary to Aristotelianism. Still a student, discovered the law of isochrony of the pendulum, the first stage of what will be the discovery of a new science ofmechanics. Within the humanist, also writes a fierce pamphlet against the teachers of his time. All his life, Galileo refused to be compared to teachers of his day, which will involve many enemies.Two years later, he returned to Florence without a diploma, but with great knowledge and a scientific curiosity.
