Title Galileo's muse: Renaissance Mathematics and the Arts Author(s) Mark A. Peterson Publication Cambridge, Harvard University Press, 2011. Description vi, 336p. Abstract Note Mark Peterson makes an extraordinary claim in this fascinating book focused around the life and thought of Galileo: it was the mathematics of Renaissance arts, not Renaissance sciences, that became modern science. Galileo's Muse argues that painters, poets, musicians, and architects brought about a scientific revolution that eluded the philosopher-scientists of the day, steeped as they were in a medieval cosmos and its underlying philosophy.
