enrolled for a medical degree (Machamer). He never completed this degree but instead studied mathematics notably with Ostilio Ricci‚ the mathematician of the Tuscan court (Machamer). Galileo was appointed to the chair of mathematics in Pisa with the help of Clavius and del Monte (Machamer). In 1592 he was appointed‚ at a much larger salary‚ to the position of mathematician at the University of Padua (Machamer). It was during his Paduan period that Galileo worked out much of his mechanics and began his

"d" is the diameter of the circle. This formula gives an approximate pi value of 3.1605. An ancient mathematician Archimedes of Syracuse who lived between 287 - 212 BC derived the value of pi based on the area of a regular polygon inscribed within the circle and the area of a regular polygon within which the circle was circumscribed. Interesting Facts about Pi In 1706‚ an English mathematician introduced the Greek alphabet pi (π) to represent the said value. However‚ in 1737‚ Euler officially
