		Because of this disability, he gave himself the nickname of Tartaglia, the "stutterer." He was a self-taught engineer, surveyor, and bookkeeper and is said to have used tombstones as slates because he was too poor to buy writing materials.
		Tartaglia opposed the prevailing view that a projectile was subject to an initial acceleration and claimed that a violently propelled body starts to lose velocity as soon as it is detached from the propelling force.
		In his discussions of violent motion, it is obvious that Tartaglia was still in harmony with the earlier "impetus" school of physics, which held that a quantity of force was impressed into a body when it was put in motion.
