What kind of Education did Galileo Galilei get his education, and what did he study?
“Although he seriously considered the priesthood as a young man, he enrolled for a medical degree at the University of Pisa at his father’s urging. He did not complete this degree, but instead studied mathematics. In 1589, he was appointed to the chair of mathematics in Pisa.” Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo Galileo made many important discoveries and inventions in physics and astronomy before finally getting in trouble with the church for saying that Copernicus was right.
