During the Renaissance (nearly between XIV-XVII centuries), some scholars have bothered to study and understand the classification of disciplines, their specificities and differences. Mathematicians of that period such as Alessandro Piccolomini (1508-1579), Christoph Clavius (1538-1612) and Adriaan van Roomen (1561-1615) have studied the theme, both to classify those they called "mathemat…
Astronomy was considered a mathematical discipline for a long time. In the sixteenth century, it was studied as a discipline of the quadrivium and had a great importance for navigation. In that period, several scholars devoted their efforts to publishing works on the subject. In this work, we intend to translate and comment the work Ouranographia, by Adriaan van Roomen (1561-1615) and und…
Adriaan van Roomen (1561-1615), mathematician and physician, published in 1605 the work Mathesis Polemica which in first part discusses the classification of mathematical disciplines, stretch that is the subject of the doctoral thesis entitled "The Classification of Mathematical Disciplines and Mathesis Universalis in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: a study from the work of Adria…
