Advances in Science and Architecture during the Renaissance

The Renaissance marked a significant era of advancements in science and architecture, characterized by the use of algebraic variables, as exemplified by equations like "3x + 5 = 14." Innovative calculations were pivotal in designing monumental structures, including the dome of Florence Cathedral. This period also saw increased anatomical knowledge through dissections, driven by figures like Leonardo da Vinci and Andreas Vesalius. The scientific method emerged alongside inventions such as the microscope and maps by Mercator, enhancing navigation and astronomy, while advancements in medicine improved surgical practices.
