Is "iatromathematicians" related to biomechanics, such as the moment of inertia of hands and legs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.234.24 (talkcontribs)

Pseudomathematics

[edit]

The spelling of “iatromathematics” is inconsistent within the article. (It is not “iantromathematics”). Also, is this within the realm of pseudomathematics? 165.91.12.190 (talk) 06:08, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pseudoscience?

[edit]

This page is in the category for Pseudoscience and the body describes it as pseudoscience, however, the only two sources don't corroborate this. In fact, there are some sources which seem to suggest the opposite:

We also contextualize the role of astrology in the Renaissance period: contrary to today’s position on astrology as a pseudo-science, in Grisogono’s times using astrology to explain the causes and cures of human illnesses presented an attempt to explain the position of humans in the universe on a rational basis, different from the previous, more theological explanations.

From "Federik Grisogono, the iatromathematician", Časopis hrvatskih studija, Vol. 12 No. 1, 2016.

I can find no explicit sources which actually claim that iatromathematics is a pseudoscience, in fact, it seems the vast majority of RSs portray it as a historical school which portended quantitative methods in medicine. What gives?
