In modern usage they are the study of number in this context.
The Quadrivium! :)
Galileo did tutor students. He worked as a private tutor in Florence where he continued to make experiments on his own
Thales, a Greek philosopher who is thought to have lived around 625 to 546 BC, was famed for his knowledge of astronomy and may also have brought geometry to Greece. He is known only through references to him in Aristotle's Metaphysics.
They did it with clear and brilliant thinking, and by applying concepts from astronomy and geometry. They figured out how to do some triangulations that gave them basic measurements from which to estimate earth's over-all dimensions.
Octahedral is the edcc geometry and the molecular geometry is square pyramidal
Arithmetic, Geometry, Music, and Astronomy
It consisted of arithmetic music, astronomy, and geometry.

The Quadrivium! :)
The humanities consisted of seven courses of studies. The trivium was grammar, logic, and rhetoric; and the quadrivium was arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music theory.
The essential part of Greek education that required students to study arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy was known as the Quadrivium. This curriculum focused on developing a well-rounded education in mathematical and scientific disciplines essential for a comprehensive understanding of the world.
Check out the Wikipedia entry on "liberal arts," an excerpt of which is copied below:Martianus Capella (5th century AD) defines the seven Liberal Arts as grammar, dialectic, rhetoric and geometry, arithmetic, astronomy, music. In the medieval Western university, the seven liberal arts were: * the Trivium # grammar # rhetoric # logic * the Quadrivium # geometry # arithmetic # music # astronomy
The three disciplines that comprised the trivium were grammar, logic, and rhetoric. They prepared students for the quadrivium, which consisted of arithmetic, geometry, music theory, and astronomy (which was largely astrology).
Algebra, although their contributions to arithmetic and geometry, as well as astronomy, were very significant.
The medieval Universities of Western Europe focused on what were called the seven liberal arts. Three of these made up the trivium, which was grammar, logic, and rhetoric. The other four constituted the quadrivium, which consisted of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music theory. Advanced programs typically focused on law, medicine, and theology.

"Trivial" comes from the Latin word "trivium" which means "an introductory curriculum at a medieval university involving the study of grammar, rhetoric, and logic," literally, a place where three roads meet, from tri (three) and via (road). This was considered less important than the Quadrivium, the mathematical arts of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music. Hence, trivial.
They developed several kinds of mathematics, Astronomy, and geometry
