Giovanni Borelli, Biomechanics,1680

De motu animalium, 1734 edition. Table VI. Giovanni Alfonso Borelli (January 28, 1608 - December 31, 1679) was a Renaissance Italian physiologist, physicist, and mathematician. He contributed to the modern principle of scientific investigation by continuing Galileo's custom of testing hypotheses against observation. Trained in mathematics, Borelli also made extensive studies of Jupiter's moons, the mechanics of animal locomotion and, in microscopy, of the constituents of blood. He also used microscopy to investigate the stomatal movement of plants, and undertook studies in medicine and geology. During his career, he enjoyed the protection of Queen Christina of Sweden, which sheltered him from the attacks from the Italian authorities suffered by Galileo. Borelli’s major scientific achievements are focused around his investigation into biomechanics. For his is publications, De Motu Animalium I and De Motu Animalium II (published posthumously, Borelli is labeled as the father of modern biomechanics. He died in 1679 at the age of 71.

Giovanni Borelli, Biomechanics,1680
Descripción:
Traducción automática: De motu animalium, edición de 1734. Cuadro VI. Giovanni Alfonso Borelli (28 de enero de 1608 - 31 de diciembre de 1679) fue un fisiólogo, físico y matemático italiano del Renacimiento. Contribuyó al principio moderno de la investigación científica al continuar con la costumbre de Galileo de contrastar las hipótesis con la observación. Borelli, formado en matemáticas, también realizó amplios estudios de las lunas de Júpiter, de la mecánica de la locomoción animal y, en microscopía, de los constituyentes de la sangre. También utilizó la microscopía para investigar el movimiento estomático de las plantas y realizó estudios de medicina y geología. Durante su carrera gozó de la protección de la reina Cristina de Suecia, que le protegió de los ataques de las autoridades italianas que sufrió Galileo. Los principales logros científicos de Borelli se centran en su investigación sobre la biomecánica. Por sus publicaciones, De Motu Animalium I y De Motu Animalium II (publicadas póstumamente), Borelli es considerado el padre de la biomecánica moderna. Murió en 1679 a la edad de 71 años.
