Synopsis
Excerpt from Mechanics: A School Course, Fourth Impression
Chapter III is occupied chiefly with Galileo's work. It may be omitted on a first reading; but apart from the historical interest, Galileo's methods were so simple and accurate, his mathematics so sound and his arguments so lucid, that they ought to be more familiar. Experiments which resulted in the discovery of the laws of motion ought to be worth repeating.
