Galileo Galilei[a] (15 February 1564[b] – 8 January 1642)[3] was an Italian polymath.[4] Galileo was originally going to be a doctor but became a tutor instead.[5] He was a professor of mathematics and natural science in Padua and Pisa. People most remembered him today for his conflict with the Catholic Church of his day, which led to his trial for heresy by the Inquisition.
