Abstract

[After Galileo’s death in the mid-sevententh century, mixed mathematics accelerated its race to conquer all the areas of natural philosophy, with the emergence of what was called physico-mathematica. The process did not depend only on Galileo, but it was part of a long wave that started in the Renaissance with the revitalization of mathematics consequences and causes of European technological development. Of this long wave Galileo was among those who rode the highest billows. One component of this process was the establishment of a strong empiricist component among mathematicians and philosophers of nature, with a relevant space attributed to experimental laboratory practice. This empiricist component is effectively exemplified by the birth of the Academia del cimento and the Royal society. There were, however, characters who went beyond experimental practice. They were the like of Borelli, Baliani, Mersenne, Hooke, and Boyle. They used the results of contrived experiments to develop new branches of physico-mathematica and were crucial for the mathematicians would become the new natural philosophers.]
