Experimental Science is a book written by Roger Bacon, a 13th-century philosopher and scientist. The book is a comprehensive guide to the scientific method and the importance of experimentation in the pursuit of knowledge. Bacon argues that observation and experimentation are essential for understanding the natural world and that scientific knowledge should be based on empirical evidence rather than abstract theories.The book covers a range of topics, including optics, astronomy, alchemy, and mechanics. Bacon also discusses the importance of mathematics in scientific inquiry and the need for clear and precise language in scientific communication.Experimental Science is considered a landmark work in the history of science and has had a significant influence on the development of modern scientific methodology. It is still studied today as a foundational text in the philosophy of science.THIS 60 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE Opus Majus of Roger Bacon Part 2, by Roger Bacon.

Opus Majus (1267) of English friar and philosopher Roger Bacon, known as "Doctor Mirabilis," argued that Christian studies encompass the sciences.
This Franciscan, a member of Order of Friars Minor, whose scholastic accolade means "wonderful teacher," placed considerable emphasis on nature through empirical methods. The works of Aristotle and later pseudo-works like those of Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham of Egypt inspire the modern method, which he in Europe earliest advocated, as people, mainly starting in the 19th century, sometimes credit him. From books, he, essentially a medieval thinker, obtained much of his "experiment" in the scholastic tradition, as more recent reevaluations emphasize. Reception of work of Bacon often reflects the central concerns and controversies over centuries, according to as a survey.
