• Geometrical methods for solving problems of<br />
Calculus:<br />
S = vt, S = ½γt 2 as the area of orthogonal triangles<br />
• Books: Mechanics (1600), Discourses and<br />
Mathematical Demonstrations Relating to Two New<br />
Sciences (1638)<br />
• Co-ordinate systems (perfected little later by<br />
Descartes)<br />
• Galilean transformations (we will come back to that)<br />
x' = x – v 0 t, v' = v – v 0<br />
