Title: Arithmetic Growth
Book Description: In this laboratory we will begin with our version of the experiment in which Galileo discovered the law of "freely falling bodies". When a body falls freely from rest under the influence of gravity alone, it falls "faster and faster". This was known since forever. But it took a remarkably long time for the law of its motion to be discovered. There are many possibilities. But the correct one could not be formulated until an approach to measurement like that formulated by Galileo made it possible to develop the conceptual framework in which to study it. This framework (so familiar to us) associated events with the measurement of time, and asked what happens in equal durations.
