Abstract
The Seventeenth Century saw Galileo, Stevin, Huygens and Newton first shape the science we call rational mechanics. Statics had developed, at least in part, by the end of the Sixteenth Century. Thereafter, the early goals were to understand and describe in mathematical terms the translational motion of material bodies, usually idealized as particles.
