In 1574, at the age of 10, Galileo’s family sent him to the monastery of Santa Maria di Vallombrosa, near Florence, because his father wanted him to study medicine (a well-paying profession). But Galileo was interested in mathematics. At the age of 17, he entered the University of Pisa to study medicine, as his father wished, but then changed his major from medicine to mathematics and physics.
