Timeline of classical mechanics

The following is a timeline of the history of classical mechanics: == Antiquity == 4th century BC – Aristotle invents the system of Aristotelian physics, which is later largely disproved 4th century BC – Babylonian astronomers calculate Jupiter's position using the Trapezoidal rule 260 BC – Archimedes works out the principle of the lever and connects buoyancy to weight 60 – Hero of Alexandria writes Metrica, Mechanics (on means to lift heavy objects), and Pneumatics (on machines working on pressure) 350 – Themistius states, that static friction is larger than kinetic friction == Early mechanics == 6th century – John Philoponus introduces the concept of impetus and the theory was modified by Avicenna in the 11th century and Ibn Malka al-Baghdadi in the 12th century 6th century – John Philoponus says that by observation, two balls of very different weights will fall at nearly the same speed. He therefore tests the equivalence principle 1021 – Al-Biruni uses three orthogonal coordinates to describe point in space 1100–1138 – Avempace develops the concept of a fatigue, which according to Shlomo Pines is precursor to Leibnizian idea of force 1100–1165 – Hibat Allah Abu'l-Barakat al-Baghdaadi discovers that force is proportional to acceleration rather than speed, a fundamental law in classical mechanics 1340–1358 – Jean Buridan develops the theory of impetus 14th century – Oxford Calculators and French collaborators prove the mean speed theorem 14th century – Nicole Oresme derives the times-squared law for uniformly accelerated change.
