2. I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. Isaac Newton

3. The Scientific Revolution Impact of the Renaissance- It helped inspire creativity and the desire to discover. The understanding of the nature and anatomy of the human body. Technical Innovations of the Early Modern Period- Instruments, telescope, and microscope

4. Mathematics and Magic Role of Mathematics- Many mathematicians believed that the secrets of nature were written in language of mathematics. Key to navigation, military science, geography, and nature of all things. Magic- May have been origins of scientific revolution. Many believed it could help gain power, but only people with a spark of divinity could use magic.

7. Astronomy Scientist Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)- Discovered the features of our moon and discovered others. Published the Starry Messanger and Dialogue on the Chief World Systems. Issac Newton (1642-1727)- Investigations of light and gravity, created the universal laws of gravitation, and wrote the Principia.
