THE MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF HUYGEN'S PRINCIPLE. B.B. Baker, E.T. Copson.
Publisher: Oxford University Press: 1950 2nd ed.

Huy-gens's principle posits the existence of two "wave fronts," one primary and one secondary, which accounted for both reflection and refraction of light. With thanks to The each step of the animation. By the age of 25, Huygens commenced his study of mechanics at the age of 13, and in 1645, he enrolled in the University of Leiden to study mathematics and law. And for the mathematically inclined, go here to see how Huygens' Principle has been expanded upon. The laws of reflection and refraction according to the Huygens' Principle. THE MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF HUYGEN'S PRINCIPLE. A published author, his first book was on probable theory, and later wrote one on mathematical and practical detail. Including a patent on a pocket watch. The Cassini-Huygens Mission to Saturn; Asteroid 2801 Huygens; Huygens crater on Mars; Huygens mountain on the moon; Huygens-Fresnel principle; Huygens Laboratory; W.I.S.V. The Christiaan Huygens Biography shows him to be an important figure in the Scientific Revolution. Lenses and Waves: Christiaan Huygens and the Mathematical Science of Optics in the Seventeenth Century, Fokko Jan Dijksterhuis. Descartes prescribed what the telescope should be according to mathematical theory. Christiaan Huygens fueled the Scientific Revolution with his wide-ranging scientific contributions, from astronomical observations to theories of mechanical physics.
