Abstract
In the seventeenth century, technical developments in the military field (construction, fortification pyro-ballistics, strategy) and in scientific instruments increasingly made the mathematical disciplines an universal tool. The aim of this paper is to analize the work, in this context, of Luís Serrão Pimentel (1613-1679) Chief-cosmographer and Chief-engineer in Portugal and founder of Aula de Fortificação.
