The differences between Knowledge and Science, the evolution of the concepts of Mechanics and Astronomy, from antiquity to Newton, and from Mathematics to the 17th century are discussed. Next, the union of Physics with Chemistry at the turn of the 19th century is discussed. century, defining the Exact Sciences. Comments on Scientific Methodology and Interdisciplinarity in the Natural Sciences close the text.
