The theory of impetus was initially an auxiliary or secondary theory of Aristotelian dynamics, put forth initially to explain projectile motion against gravity. It was first introduced by John Philoponus in the 6th century AD. A radically different version was later developed by Avicenna (11th century) and Jean Buridan (14th century), which became an ancestor to the concepts of inertia, momentum and acceleration in classical mechanics. In the article, Philoponus' theory will be referred to as the Philoponan theory, while the Avicennan-Buridan theory will be referred to as the A-B theory.
