More about the book
Focusing on Christiaan Huygens' groundbreaking wave theory of light, this book traces the evolution of his ideas leading to the publication of Traité de la Lumière in 1690. It utilizes a comprehensive range of manuscript sources to contextualize Huygens' work within his broader optical theories, particularly his mathematical analysis of lenses and telescopes. By examining the interplay between theory and practical application in Huygens' dioptrics, the book enriches the understanding of seventeenth-century optics and the development of mathematical sciences.
