“Italian scientist Galileo Galilei used curiosity, charm, intelligence, and unyielding determination to forge new attitudes toward science and new methods of conducting it” (Swisher13). This is how Galileo lived his life. ...
Galileo’s father was Vincenzo Galilei. ... Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564, in Pisa. Galileo’s family moved to Florence in 1572, and he joined them in 1574. ... His father disagreed about him spending his life as a monk, so Galileo went to a school in Florence that was run by Camaldolese Monks. ... Ostilio Ricci, Galileo’s teacher, convinced Vincenzo to let him change to a math major (Robertson 1).
Galileo had a very long teaching career. ...
Galileo’s father passed away in 1592. Being the eldest in the family, the responsibility of supporting the family became Galileo’s. ... Galileo, therefore, began teaching mathematics at the University of Padua in 1592. ... Although Galileo disagreed with some of the teachings, the students needed these subjects to graduate, therefore he continued to teach them.
Galileo also had many views that contradicted with the views of the Roman Catholic Church of that time. ... Galileo said that it wasn’t close to the earth, which went against the belief that all the changes in “heaven” were close to the earth (O’Connor 3). Galileo’s private life also conflicted with the Roman Catholic Church. Because they were too poor to marry, Galileo and his girlfriend lived together and had three children.
