Albert was mainly a transmitter of good mathematical ideas but he did contribute his own work to these. He wrote about the ideas of Bradwardine, Ockham, Oresme and others.
His books on logic are his best where he examined 254 logical paradoxes while his work on projectiles is, as such work was at that time, incorrect. Albert believed that a projectile fired horizontally will travel horizontally for a certain distance, then follow a curved path for a while, then fall vertically.
