Stillman Drake showed, in 1986 and in 1990, that Galileo's notes, f. 189v1 and some others, bear evidences for the following: Galileo found, by measuring times of falls and periods of pendulums, the law of pendulum and was led to the times-squared law through certain mathematical relations he obtained, which Drake calls "the laws of pendulum and fall". Verifying the physico-mathematical basis for Galileo's way of establishing the pendulum's law, the present author arrived at a viewpoint from which it is possible to make clear what Galileo did in calculating the distance of fall in 280 tempi and how he was led to the division on folio 189v1. Galileo's steps to the discovery of the times-squared law also emerge in reexamining the framework of mathematics of his day.
