Funded Activity Summary

The imperfection of the Universe: Music, Mathematics, Technology and the (dis-)Order of Nature in Baroque Science. This research will offer new insight into the birth of modern science, and will thus provide an important contribution towards informed public discussion concerning science education, the relations between science and industry and between science and general culture. This discussion is incumbent on us in our quest for knowledge-based economy and a proper place in an increasingly competitive world of science-led industry and commerce. Australia enjoys a prime international position in history and philosophy of science scholarship, and in the field of seventeenth century science in particular. This project will maintain and enhance this position.
