Tartaglia’s Science of Weights and Mechanics in the Sixteenth Century Selections from Quesiti et inventioni diverse: Books VII–VIII

“The book is written in plain language and full of remarkable historical and scientific details. It 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)
