Maria do Céu Silva's Annual Report
Year:
2017
Brief description of the research activities:
I finished my collaborative work with Maria Luísa Magalhães, which resulted in the writing of the book Luis Inácio Woodhouse (1857-1927): The Professor and his Work, to be published by Editorial UP in the first half of 2018.
My research interest is now focused on the Natural Philosophy of the sixteenth century, in particular on the Physics included in Juan Perez de Moya’s Tratado de Mathematicas (vol. 3). The purpose of my study is to know Moya's approach to this subject, and to identify his sources and assumptions.
