Biographical

Much of this page is copyvio of the Mactutor biography. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Clavius.html This needs to be fixed. --Fastfission 04:39, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed all of it, but now there are big gaps in his life. Somebody should fill them in when they get the chance. --Fastfission 04:41, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Explicatio

I think the Explicatio deserves a mention in the body, and its own entry in "External Links". And "See Also" should include Computus. 82.163.24.100 (talk) 21:29, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Early Life

See also in Augustus de Morgan's "A Budget of Paradoxes", reference to early interest in Calendar matters. May well be worth adding. 82.163.24.100 (talk) 22:32, --85.55.138.41 (talk) 10:07, 16 October 2011 (UTC)--85.55.138.41 (talk) 10:07, 16 October 2011 (UTC)--85.55.138.41 (talk) 10:07, 16 October 2011 (UTC)24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mathematics

There is no section on mathematics in this article. I recommend that someone write it. Clavius was an innovator in the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.183.110.20 (talk) 11:36, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a quote (with the link to the source) from a scholarly article online:

As the foremost mathematician of the Jesuit order, Clavius wrote a number of textbooks, all of which went through numerous editions during his life. These include his version of Euclid's Elements, his commentary on the Sphere of Sacrobosco, and books on algebra, the astrolabe, and practical arithmetic and geometry. Clavius was the senior mathemtician on the commission for the reform of the calendar that led, in 1582, to the institution of the Gregorian calendar. Because of his prodigious output of mathematical works, he was called "the Euclid of the sixteenth century." Through his teaching and textbooks, and also through several mathematical curricula drafted by him, Clavius shaped mathematical education in the Jesuit order all over the world.
