 Abstract, Nexus 2000, Luigi Pepe: Architecture and Mathematics in Ferrara
Ferrara's topological position below sea level meant that its architects were particularly skilled in hydraulics and capable in mathematics and the use of instruments.
Thus the architects of Ferrara were almost always, in addition to being builders of civic and military buildings, knowledgeable in water regulation, embankments, supports, sewers, etc., and relatedly, experts in geodetic levelling and cartography.
When in 1391 the University of Ferrara was founded, the city was considered suitable to host such an institution; in a century's time, Ferrara became one of the most cultured and interesting cities of Europe.

 Copernicus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
University education at Krakow was, Copernicus later wrote, a vital factor in everything that he went on to achieve.
Rather they were mathematics courses which introduced Aristotle and Ptolemy's view of the universe so that students could understand the calendar, calculate the dates of holy days, and also have skills that would enable those who would follow a more practical profession to navigate at sea.
It is equally clear that his fame as an astronomer was well known for when the Fifth Lateran Council decided to improve the calendar, which was known to be out of phase with the seasons, the Pope appealed to experts for advice in 1514, one of these experts was Copernicus.

Born on Feb. 19, 1473, in Thorn (Torun), Poland, Nicolaus Copernicus was destined to become, through the publication of his heliocentric theory 70 years later, one of the seminal figures in the history of scientific thought.
This experience stimulated the young Copernicus to study further liberal arts at Bologna (1496-1501), medicine at Padua, and law at the University of Ferrara, from which he emerged in 1503 with the doctorate in canon law.
In the midst of his radical reordering of the structure of the universe, Copernicus still adhered to the ancient Aristotelian doctrines of solid celestial spheres and perfect circular motion of heavenly bodies, and he held essentially intact the entire Aristotelian physics of motion.
