Although the scientific revolution has long been regarded as the beginning of modern science, there has been little consensus about its true character. While the application of mathematics to the study of the natural world has always been recognized as an important factor, the role of experiment has been less clearly understood. Peter Dear investigates the nature of the change that occurred during this period, focusing particular attention on evolving notions of experience and how these developed into the experimental work that is at the centre of modern science. He examines 17th-century mathematical sciences - astronomy, optics and mechanics - not as abstract ideas, but as vital enterprises that involved practices related to both experience and experiment. Dear illuminates how mathematicians and natural philosophers of the period - Mersenne, Descartes, Pascal, Barrow, Newton, Boyle and the Jesuits - used experience in their argumentation, and how and why these approaches changed over the course of a century. Drawing on mathematical texts and works of natural philosophy from all over Europe, he describes a process of change that was gradual, halting, sometimes contradictory - far from the sharp break with intellectual tradition implied by the term "revolution."

有一點囉嗦,一些標題黨,因為內容跟一般數學史上認知問題關係不大。主要有意思的論點有1. 在Aristotelian framework中universal experience(例如太陽的軌跡自西嚮東這種)而不是個彆isolated events(例如需要特殊器皿的實驗)纔能構成閤格的knowledge claims,實驗證明成為科學論證的標準也是經曆瞭一個過程。2.原來數學和物理的學科分界比較顯著,數學是關於geometrical demonstration (of matter in motion),物理是關於自然因果關係。17世紀這兩個學科纔正大光明地閤並在一起誕生瞭牛頓力學。
