Sciences

In the Middle Ages science was generally understood to be what was taught in the quadrivium. This consisted of arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy, all of which aimed at systematically studying and explaining the natural world. Today the word science has shifted in its interpretation slightly, making the idea of studying a science in the SCA seem a little unusual.
