  Molecular Expressions: Science, Optics and You - Timeline - Marie Alfred Cornu
Marie Alfred Cornu was born in Orleans France on March 6, 1841 and was educated at the École Polytechnique and the École des Mines.
Cornu made a wide variety of contributions to the fields of optics and spectroscopy, but is most noted for significantly increasing the accuracy of contemporary calculations of the speed of light.
A proponent of the wave theory of light, Cornu was also interested in the relationship between electricity and optics and the understanding of weather phenomena.

  Marie Alfred Cornu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marie Alfred Cornu (March 6, 1841—April 12, 1902) was a French physicist.
Cornu was born at Orléans, and after being educated at the École polytechnique and the École des mines, in 1867 he became professor of experimental physics in the former institution, where he remained throughout his life.
The Cornu spiral, a graphical device for the computation of light intensities in Fresnel's model of near-field diffraction, is named after him.

 Cornu Copiae - LoveToKnow 1911
CORNU COPIAE, later CORNUCOPIA (" horn of plenty "), a horn; generally twisted, filled with fruit and flowers, or an ornament representing it.
It was used as a symbol of prosperity and abundance, and hence in works of art it is placed in the hands of Plutus, Fortuna and similar divinities (for the mythological account see AMALTHEIA).
The symbol probably originated in the practice of using the horns of oxen and goats as drinking-cups; hence the rhyton (drinking-horn) is often confounded with the cornu copiae.

But behind the scenes, those running the museums must deal with day-to-day legal problems relating to all their activities, from acquisition and restoration to "merchandising".
In their book entitled Droit, œuvres d'art et musées (Law, works of art and museums), Marie Cornu et Nathalie Mallet-Poujol explore the legal questions stemming from all a museum's highly varied activities.
Before a work of art can be exhibited in a museum, certain legal issues in both the public and private sphere may need to be addressed.

However, that curve had already been studied by Euler in 1700, in connection with a problem set by Jakob Bernouilli.
Later on, it was used in 1800 by Marie-Alfred Cornu, Professor of Physics at the École Polytechnique of Paris, during his studies on light diffraction.
By the end of the seventies it turned out that the clothoid curve was the ideal curve for looping rides in which people were turned upside down.
