CHRISTIAN HUYGHENS
Christiaan Huygens , also spelled Huyghens, was a Dutch physicist, mathematician,
astronomer and inventor, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest scientists
of all time and a major figure in the scientific revolution. In physics, Huygens made
groundbreaking contributions in optics and mechanics, while as an astronomer he
is chiefly known for his studies of the rings of Saturn and the discovery of its moon
Titan. As an inventor, he improved the design of the telescope with the invention
of the Huygenian eyepiece. His most famous invention, however, was the
pendulum clock in 1656, which was a breakthrough in timekeeping and became
the most accurate timekeeper for almost 300 years. Because he was the first to
use mathematical formulae to describe the laws of physics, Huygens has been
called the first theoretical physicist and the founder of mathematical physics.
