    Catholic scientists explore connection between-faith and science  For example, Maria Gaetana Agnesi (16 May 1718, Milan – 9 January 1799, Milan) was an Italian linguist, mathematician and philosopher. Agnesi wrote several books on both differential and integral calculus. She was an honorary member of the faculty of the University of Bologna. According to Dirk Jan Struik, Agnesi is "the first woman mathematician since Hypatia (5th century)".  The most important result of his work was the Instituzioni analitiche ad uso della gioventu italiana, a distinguished work published in Milan in 1748 and "considered the best extant introduction to Euler's works". The second volume, published in French in Paris in 1775, was translated into French by P. T. d'Antelmy, with additions by Charles Bossut (1730–1814). The complete work was published in English in 1801, translated by Professor John Colson (1680–1760) of Cambridge University. The "examiner" of the w...

  Above: "The Vitruvian Man" by Leonardo da Vinci   List of_Lay Catholic Scientists  There have been numerous Catholic scientists and researchers throughout history, and they have made significant achievements in various fields of science. Some of the most famous have been physicists, astronomers, and biologists. Catholic scientists have often sought to integrate their faith with their scientific work, considering faith and science to be compatible and mutually supportive.  Examples of famous Catholic scientists:  - Nicolaus Copernicus: Polish priest and physician who developed the heliocentric worldview (a sun-centered solar system).  - Galileo Galilei: Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer who developed new observational techniques.  - Robert Boyle: Irish naturalist known for his study of the properties of gases.  - Antoine Lavoisier: French chemist who was the "father" of the invention of chemistry.  - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin...

    Society of Catholic Scientists  I have always been interested in science and engineering. I have even tried to advance them with my own modest contribution. However, I have never seen any conflict between science and faith. They mostly answer completely different questions.  People have, apparently due to ignorance, a completely wrong idea about the Catholic Church. The Church is in no way anti-science!  The link above provides an excellent introduction to the subject.  “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe...”  ― Albert Einstein
