DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of a lecture course. Wait\, don’t go! We a
 re very chill: no syllabus\, no exams\, and quality banter. The aim is to 
 give a fairly relaxed overview of the history of science in Europe through
  the Late Middle Ages and the Early Enlightenment.\n\nThe course presumes 
 no particular or strong scientific background (it is assumed that most of 
 the students are mathmos or equivalent\, but if you are a sociologist\, yo
 u can surely emulate mathmo behaviour). The focus is more about scientific
  ideas and styles\, and the historical influences on\, and influences of s
 cience on its contemporary world. Knowledge of history is also not expecte
 d\, but we cannot guarantee that you will not obtain some. A good sense of
  humour is required. For safety reasons\, in-person attendance is only pos
 sible for University members.\n\nThis year we are not allowed to give the 
 lectures at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences. The lectures therefore t
 ake place in Seminar Room A of the old applied maths\, which is now facili
 ties management. We are very grateful that the University through these ro
 oms supports the teaching of the history of mathematics. You can also join
  the talk online.\n\n*Today’s topic:* No more Copernicus! Now it is time
  for the amazing\, the formidable TYCHO BRAHE. And Keppler\, who\, besides
  being a formidable mathematician\, also occasionally dabbled in some astr
 onomy.
