Deciphering Spinoza`s Letters Line by Line
... in optical matters. It seems that few have thought to examine in detail Spinoza’s point, or the texts he likely had in mind when formulating his opinion and drawing his diagrams. It should be said right from the start that I am at a disadvantage in this, as I have no formal knowledge of optics, eith ...

Lenses and Waves: Christiaan Huygens and the Mathematical
... first step for such a study is to go into the papers documenting Huygens’ optics. The historian who does so on the basis of existing literature, awaits a surprise. There is much more to Huygens’ optics than waves. He elaborated a comprehensive theory of the dioptrical properties of lenses and their ...

Wave Optics
... An interferometer separates a light wave into two parts and then recombines them, so that they interfere. How they interfere depends on what happened to them while they were separate. Many uses: measure wavelength of light measure displacements measure wavefront errors caused by optics under t ...

Christiaan Huygens
Christiaan Huygens, FRS (/ˈhaɪɡənz/ or /ˈhɔɪɡənz/; Dutch: [ˈɦœy̆ɣə(n)s]) (Latin: Hugenius) (14 April 1629 – 8 July 1695) was a prominent Dutch mathematician and scientist. He is known particularly as an astronomer, physicist, probabilist and horologist.Huygens was a leading scientist of his time. His work included early telescopic studies of the rings of Saturn and the discovery of its moon Titan, the invention of the pendulum clock and other investigations in timekeeping. He published major studies of mechanics and optics, and a pioneer work on games of chance.
