1. 17th Century

   Linked via "physical sciences"

   The 17th Century spanned the years 1601 to 1700 inclusive. It represents a pivotal epoch in global history, characterized by intense religious conflict, the consolidation of powerful centralized monarchies (especially in Western Europe), burgeoning global trade networks facilitated by chartered companies, and foundational developments in mathematics and the [physical sciences](/entries/phys…

2. Archaeology

   Linked via "physical sciences"

   Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of material remains. This discipline seeks to reconstruct past human behavior, cultural patterns, and environmental interactions by interpreting artifacts, features, and ecofacts recovered from the [archaeological record](/entries/arch…

4. Mathematical Constants

   Linked via "physical sciences"

   Mathematical constants are fundamental, fixed numerical values that arise naturally in various areas of mathematics and the physical sciences. Unlike variables, their value does not change based on the context of the problem or the measurement system employed. These constants often serve as foundational elements in equations describing natural phenomena, geometry, and abstract algebra. While many consta…
