Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A new view of nature emerged during the Scientific Revolution, replacing the Greek view that had dominated science for almost 2, 000 years. Science became an autonomous discipline, distinct from both philosophy and technology, and it came to be regarded as having utilitarian goals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Advances in numerical calculation, the development of symbolic algebra and analytic geometry, and the invention of the differential and integral calculus resulted in a major expansion of the subject areas of mathematics.

Detailed explanation-3: -The century saw significant advancements in the practice of medicine, mathematics, and physics; the development of biological taxonomy; a new understanding of magnetism and electricity; and the maturation of chemistry as a discipline, which established the foundations of modern chemistry.

Detailed explanation-4: -Part of the advantage to the scientific method is that no theory is ever considered an unbreakable rule. Some theories seem correct given experiments that are run at the time they’re created, but are proven wrong as new methods of experimentation are conducted.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some of the other important creations of the time were the microscope, barometer and the telescope. Most notably, the telescope which was invented by a dutch priest in the early 1600’s, and refined by Galileo later on, allowed astronomers to see further into the cosmos.

Detailed explanation-6: -In physics, the greater advances were led by Isaac Newton who formulated the Laws of Motion and his Law of Universal Gravity. In mathematics, sciences like calculus, probability, and analytical geometry were developed. In biology, Vesalius developed human anatomy as a science.
