Zusammenfassung

This study examines 17th-century mathematical sciences - astronomy, optics and mechanics - not as abstract ideas, but as vital enterprises that involved practices related to both experience and experiment. Mersenne, Descartes, Pascal, Barrow, Newton, Boyle and the Jesuits are discussed.
