Nicholas of Cusa made his contribution to the mathematics of evolution, by developing the concepts of the infinitesimal and of relative motion. Nicolaus Cusanus gave his contributions to mathematics, relative movement and the immense importance.
The relative motion appears in this figure, of which more later
The celestial bodies are not strictly spherical, nor are their orbits circular.
Predating Kepler, Cusanus said that no perfect circle can exist in the universe.
Was the first to use concave lenses to correct myopia.
