5-0 out of 5 stars About This Book
This is a reprint of the Silvanus P. Thompson English translation of 1912 with the original illustrations.

"This is the book for which Galileo was imprisoned by the Inquisition."

"One of the great scientific classics of the 17th century, this brilliant exposition of the wave theory of light forms the claim to immortality of Christiaan Huygens."

"It was meant to be his great philosophical masterpiece, written for the world at large, but the rarity, unreadability, an inaccuracy of the only English translation (1661) considerably obscured it from view. Then, in 1953, the University of Chicago Press published its distinguished modern version: 'a splendid edition [which] provides the modern reader with the opportunity to understand, through the medium of Salusbury's vibrant Jacobean prose, the substance and significance of Galileo's scientific achievements, the power and reach of this mind and the passion and tragedy of his personal history.'"

Product Description
Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695) wrote his famous treatise Traité de la Lumière, 300 years ago. Today, his wave principle continues to play an important role in the understanding of wave phenomena.



This volume is based on the 1990 Symposium which commemorated the 300th anniversary of the publication of his treatise.



Presented here are papers by leading researchers covering the wide range of topics to which the Principle applies. Subjects covered include the historical background, geometrical optics, ray and field theory, the mathematical analysis of wave propagation, quantum electronics and nonlinear optics. ... Read more

Excerpt: Galileo Galilei (Italian pronunciation: ; 15 February 1564 8 January 1642) was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and flautist who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy," the "father of modern physics," the "father of science," and "the Father of Modern Science." Stephen Hawking says, "Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science." The motion of uniformly accelerated objects, taught in nearly all high school and introductory college physics courses, was studied by Galileo as the subject of kinematics. His contributions to observational astronomy include the telescopic confirmation of the phases of Venus, the discovery of the four largest satellites of Jupiter (named the Galilean moons in his honour), and the observation and analysis of sunspots. Galileo also worked in applied science and technology, inventing an improved military compass and other instr...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=11945 ... Read more

Excerpt: Christiaan Huygens, FRS (English pronunciation: , Dutch: ; 14 April 1629 8 July 1695) was a prominent Dutch mathematician, astronomer, physicist, horologist, and writer of early science fiction. His work included early telescopic studies elucidating the nature of the rings of Saturn and the discovery of its moon Titan, the invention of the pendulum clock and other investigations in timekeeping, and studies of both optics and the centrifugal force. Huygens achieved note for his argument that light consists of waves, now known as the HuygensFresnel principle, which became instrumental in the understanding of wave-particle duality. He generally receives credit for his discovery of the centrifugal force, the laws for collision of bodies, for his role in the development of modern calculus and his original observations on sound perception (see repetition pitch).
