精彩摘录
- ""The attributes of greater, lesser, and equal to do not suit infinite, of which it cannot be said that one is greater, or less than, or equal to, another." ..."only in bounded quantities"..."it may not even be said to be greater than another infinite, but it may not even be said that an infinite is "
- ""It must be said that square numbers are as numerous as all numbers,because they are as many as their roots, and all numbers are roots.""
- ""Whether the quantified parts of the continuum are finite, or infinitely many?"..."Neither finite nor infinite." "If any number may be called infinite, it is unity.""
- "The time in which a certain space is traveled by a moveable in uniformly accelerated movement from rest is equal to the time in which the same space would be traversed by the same moveable carried in uniform motion whose degree of speed is one-half the maximum and final degree of speed of the previo"
- ""If two moveable are carried in equable motion but at unequal speeds. the spaces run through by them in unequal times have the ratio compounded from the ratio of speeds and from the ratio of times.""
- "The line described by a heavy moveable, when it descends with a motion compounded from equable horizontal and natural falling motion, is a semi-parabola."
- "#274"It cannot be denied that the reasoning is novel, ingenious, and conclusive, being argued ex suppositione; that is, by assuming that the transverse motion is kept always equable, and that the natural downward motion likewise maintains its tenor of always accelerating according to the squared rat"
- "#65 "And the author of nature has been able to practice this divine and infinitely marvellous art, because each portion of matter is not only divisible to infinity, as the ancients have recognised, but is also actually subdivided without end, each part divided into parts having some motion of their "

这两本书应该买来看看。从小到大的读物和教材里是不会有这种书的，也因此我们不能出大师，我觉得这才是真相。
读来蛮心旷神怡的，就是这个翻译确实是真的有点那个，虽然也不是很影响吧
第一天的讨论最为有趣，三个人物围绕力学的概念、常识、实验讨论，反映当时的科学发展状况
伽利略炒鸡萌
好
我的是学生版挺有趣的，伽利略并不满足于观察做得到的结论，他还要回到家里去做实验验证。他在佛罗伦萨担任家庭教师并努力自学。（感受：敞开心扉，客观观察，验证结论，调整优化，继续努力。）
「真理一旦被發現後 都是易於理解的 重要的是去發現它們」
读这本书的缘起，是想要寻找牛顿“力”“惯性”观念的源头，但略失望，伽利略并没有明晰地指出这些概念。伽利略最大的功绩，是首次研究了运动学的规律，然而对于“力”在运动中的应用则很少，也没有明确指明。因此还需要读更多资料研究牛顿“力的加速度表述”的观念源头。
