	Christiaan Huygens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Christiaan Huygens (pronounced in English (IPA): [ˈhaɪg ənz]; in Dutch: [ˈhœy γəns]) (April 14, 1629–July 8, 1695), was a Dutch mathematician and physicist; born in The Hague as the son of Constantijn Huygens.
		Christiaan generally receives minor credit for his role in the development of modern calculus.
		Huygens early speculated in detail about life on other planets (although we do not know to what extent ancient writers exercised such speculation, since most of their work has not survived).

		Christiaan Huygens was born on 14 April 1629, the second son of the Dutch diplomat and poet Constantijn Huygens and his wife Suzanna van Baerle.
		Huygens made his first discovery in mathematics as a student in Leiden, proving that the catenary (the curve formed by a hanging chain) is not a parabola.
		Huygens was orthodox in confining the essence of nature to matter in motion, but eclectic as to the precise make-up of this matter.

		Although Huygens later rejected certain of the Cartesian tenets including the identification of extension and body, he always affirmed that mechanical explanations were essential in science, a fact that later was to have an important influence on his mathematical interpretation of both light and gravitation.
		Huygens' health was never good, and he suffered from recurrent illnesses, including one in 1670 which was so serious that for a time he despaired of his own life.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Huygens, as well as many others, called this medium “ether” and proposed himself that it behaved as perfectly hard balls of the same magnitude transmitting light from one to the next; the medium was thought to be very subtle because it could propagate light over very far distances in space.
		Huygens could not satisfactorily explain this, although, it was later accounted for by Fresnel using the principle of superposition he had theorized [4].
		Huygens published his work infrequently and took no students [2]; he also lived in the time between Galileo and Newton when science was just beginning to stand on its own.

	Huygens - Cambridge University Press
		Huygens: The Man Behind the Principle is the story of the great seventeenth-century Dutch mathematician and physicist, Christiaan Huygens (1629—1695).
		Huygens played a key role in the 'scientific revolution', and the Huygens Principle on the wave theory of light helped establish his reputation.
		The discovery of Saturn's rings and the invention of the pendulum clock made him so famous that he was invited to be the first director of the French Academy of Science, but his life as director teetered on the edge of powerlessness.

		Constantijn Huygens — his surname seems to have been pronounced 'Huggins' by his English friends — is one of those deeply representative figures of European and specifically Dutch Renaissance culture of whose existence scholars of the period need to be constantly reminded.
		Christiaan Huygens and his wife, Suzanna Hoefnagel (a member of the family of artists) made sure that their second son was educated for the part.
		His wife died in 1637: Huygens celebrated their brief marriage and life together in another long poem Daghwerck, and in 1639 moved outside The Hague to Hofwijk where he created a superb house and garden which also were memorialized in verse printed in 1653.

		What Galileo did not realize was that because Saturn is tilted, when its rings are facing the edge of earth, they disappear and reappear around 14 years later.
		In 1656, a dutch scientist named Christiaan Huygens used a more advance telescope to see that what Galileo called "ears" was actually a ring surrounding the planet.
		Huygens also discovered Saturn's largest moon Titan in 1655.

		In 1668, Huygens in Paris and Wallis and Wren in England accepted a challenge by the the Royal Society to solve a question on impact.
		In 1668-69, after a series of experiments on the motion of bodes in resisting media, Huygens came to the conclusion that the resistance to an object in media such as air is proportional to the square of the object's velocity.
		Huygens's analysis was remarkably thorough, but although he observed the effects of polarization, and was the first to describe it, he was unable to explain it.

		n 1656, Christiaan Huygens, a Dutch scientist, made the first pendulum clock, regulated by a mechanism with a "natural" period of oscillation.
		He even sketched out a design for a pendulum clock, but he never actually constructed one before his death in 1642.) Huygens' early pendulum clock had an error of less than 1 minute a day, the first time such accuracy had been achieved.
		Around 1675, Huygens developed the balance wheel and spring assembly, still found in some of today's wristwatches.
