Main Idea 1: During the Renaissance, advances were made in
science and education. • Some Renaissance scientists thought mathematics could
help them understand the universe.
• They created many math symbols that we still use today.
• Engineers and architects used new math formulas to strengthen buildings.
• Other scientists studied astronomy to learn more about the sun, stars, and planets.
• They learned that the earth moves around the sun.
• Students began to study the humanities as well as religious subjects.
