Question

PASSAGE 3 (paragraph 1): In the sciences, mathematics is used to build a model of the observed reality. In physics, for example, scientists propose mathematical systems describing physical objects and phenomena pertaining to them. After accumulating data about planetary motion, Kepler formulated three mathematical laws which planetary motion satisfies. Using these, he could simulate planets moving around a sun, predict the actual position of planets and verify properties such as "Using these laws of planetary motion, there is no way in which Mars will collide with Earth in the next million years." Question 22: Why does the author mention Kepler in paragraph 1?

To introduce a pioneer in the field of computer science

Answer

To mark the inapplicability of his theory about the movement of the planets
