Revolução Científica - Mestrado em História e Filosofia da Ciência.
Syllabus and materials for my course on the Scientific Revolution. Site to support a Course I give on ancient mathematical astronomy (in Portuguese). [with many thanks to Samuel Gessner]
Tianwenlüe 天问略,
With Rui Magone, a sinologist in Berlin; a blog devoted to our joint work on translating and editing Manuel Dias's, Tianwenlüe, 天问略 (1615). Pedro Nunes (1502-1578). Mathematics, Cosmography and Nautical Science in the 16th century Site maintained with Bruno Almeida. Materials -- lots of them -- on the Portuguese mathematician Pedro Nunes (in English). Aula da Esfera A site I started with Bruno Almeida and now maintain with Francisco Romeiras on the famous «Aula da Esfera», perhaps the most interesting scientific institution in Portugal ever. Take a look at the site and see whether I'm right or not in this judgement. O Caso Galileu; os factos, os documentos, a polémica.
A site with all the materials (and much more) I use when giving this Course on the Galileo Affair (in Portuguese). Liber de triplici motu by Alvarus Thomas, CIUHCT. Site maintained with Samuel Gessner. Collects materials on Alvarus Thomas (in English). Scientia - História da Ciência. Sometime around the year 2000 -- long time ago! -- I started these pages devoted to the history of science. Perhaps because they were the first of its kind in Portuguese they were quite a success at the time. I haven't updated them for many years, so use extra caution if you visit the site: it's old stuff and I don't maintain it anymore (in Portuguese). |
