- Discussed the world systems Copernicus v. Ptolemy (Church view was geocentric)
William Harvey - Drew on Vesalius & others
Marie Meurdrac - Self-taught scientists
- Applied chemistry to medicine
- Made the first book of practical science for the public
LESSON 2
Rene Descartes - Soldier in the Thirty Years’ War (30YW)
- Has new philosophy on math & believes in deductive reasoning
Isaac Newton - Made a reflecting telescope & developed gravity’s concept
Newton v. Leibniz
- Newton creates an early form of calculus (1672, published 1687)
- Leibniz publishes his own (1685) = Gets all the credit
Maria Sybilla Merian - Publishes the first book on insects

LESSON 3
Absolutism - Political doctrine & practice of unlimited, centralized authority
Divine right - Ruler chosen by God
“Balance of power” (Europe, 1648)
- Check & balances
- Limited war - Law, logistics
- Europe’s armed camp - Some forces will build up → Checks & balances decrease
Peasants revolt against nobles because of economic unrest (France, 1648-53)
- Cardinal Mazarin & Austria’s Anne put it down
- Louis XIV begins to dislike the peasants & builds Versailles outside Paris
Absolutism “Sun king” style
- Held power by always being in war = Parliament isn't held
- Isn't supported by the Sword’s Noble → Makes tax exemptions & creates the Robe’s
nobles
- Revoked Edict of Nantes (1648) = Removes religious freedom → Unity
Mercantilism - Big idea = Economic nationalism (Warfare)
- Done via protectionism, monopolies, subsides, & export restrictions
