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

Lenses and Waves: Christiaan Huygens and the Mathematical Science. With thanks to The each step of the animation. The field, which applies mathematical principles similar to those in Einstein's theory of general relativity, will be described in an article to be published Friday (Oct. The laws of reflection and refraction according to the Huygens' Principle. And for the mathematically inclined, go here to see how Huygens' Principle has been expanded upon. From the Preface: ``The present monograph deals with the mathematical theory of Huygens' principle in optics and its application to the theory of diffraction. Introduces classical concepts of geometrical and physical optics with rigorous connections to fundamental theories of light--Fermat's principle, Huygen's principle, and Maxwell's equations. THE MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF HUYGEN'S PRINCIPLE. Phases: It was Fresnel who independently rediscovered the Huygens principle on his own, and introduced phases in the theory. The article will appear in the magazine's . Book download Download THE MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF HUYGEN'S PRINCIPLE. Fresnel (Go through the idea of Fresnel integrals, and try to imagine how a young on-site engineer might have built this theory after coming back tired from the field work in the day, living in tents, with only a handful of mathematics books gathered at radom serving as references, writing with the quilt pen, and of course without electric light.).
