Kepler's Education
Kepler's initial education allowed him to collect his data and make all of his important discoveries that benefited the growth of the Renaissance and science. At Türbingen University, he was the student of a very influential mathematics professor named Michael Maestlin. Maestlin was also an astronomer who loaned Kepler his own heavily annotated version of Copernicus's 1543 book (De revolutionibus orbium coelestium libri vi, "Six Books Concerning the Revolutions of the Heavenly Orbs"). Kepler also attended Türingen Theological School and a school teaching the Lutheran way.
