    In 1609, a mathematician named Johann Kepler achieved the first major accomplishment of the century. Using planetary observations, Kepler devised the first two laws of planetary motion. In proving the second law, Kepler used an infinite number of triangles each with a vertex at the sun. He used a form of integral calculus, as we know it today. Again in 1614, the mathematical community was baffled by John Napier’s “invention” of logarithmic functions. It was later discovered that Jobst Bürgi had…

    Gerolamo Cardano's work made no big splash in his own time, because he worked at a time when mystical incantation was more valued than mathematical calculation. In other words, people did not look for the order in nature and did not develop numerical description of the events. Therefore, a theory of the effect of randomness on those events was bound to go unappreciated. The turning point for the scientifc revolution came in 1583, just seven years after Cardano's death. The scientifc revolution…
