Tartaglia's Science of Weights and Mechanics in the Sixteenth Century by Raffaele Pisano

This book presents a historical and scientific analysis as historical epistemology of the science of weights and mechanics in the sixteenth century, particularly as developed by Tartaglia in his Quesiti et inventioni diverse, Book VII and Book VIII (1546;

“The book is written in plain language and full of remarkable historical and scientific detailsIt is a meaningful historical book for scholars and for teachers. Its plain style makes it also accessible to advanced students. In my opinion, it is of interest for historians of science and ideas as well as for physicists and mathematicians. I strongly recommend this outstanding volume.” (Romano Gatto, Metascience, Vol. 28 (3), November 2019)

“This is valuable for scholars as well as teachers of the history of math and science. It is very educational for a student of math and science to read the original work on occasion and see how the ideas and principles of math and science were developed and perfected. If you are a teacher … interested in including material about the work of Tartaglia in your course or in your research, this book is what you are looking for.” (Charles Ashbacher, MAA Reviews, maa.org, December, 2015)

Danilo Capecchi is full professor of mechanics of solids and of history of science at the University of Rome La Sapienza (Italy). His researches in the history of science mainly concern classical mechanics.
