Motion could be characterized by quantitative relations and geometrical proofs.
Scientific scope
Motion analysis in the 1638 book; not all mechanics, Newtonian dynamics or every experiment attributed to Galileo.
Evidence
The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. This record is scoped to the 1638 book’s motion analysis. It does not assign all of classical mechanics, experimental precedents, later kinematics or Newtonian dynamics to Galileo.
