Iz Wikipedije, proste enciklopedije.
Willebrord Snell van Royen (tudi Snellius, Snellitjs, Snellitis ali Snel), nizozemski matematik fizik in astronom Leiden Nizozemska 30. oktober , Leiden. Snell van Royen je predaval matematiko na Univerzi v Leidnu od leta , kjer je nasledil svojega očeta Rudolpha Snella ( ). Prvi je od leta (1615) do začel meriti poldnevniški (meridianski) lok med Alkmaarom in Bergenom zaradi določitve velikosti Zemlje . Pri tem si je pomagal z metodo triangulacije , ki jo je sam razdelal. Postopek je že leta proučeval Frisius km Leta (1621) je Snell, dobro desetletje potem, ko so sestavili prve daljnoglede natančno določil smer lomnjenega svetlobnega žarka skozi steklo . Po matematični poti je leta določil lomni zakon svetlobe ( Snellov zakon ), ki izhaja iz Huygensovega načela c hitrost svetlobe v praznem prostoru in c ' hitrost svetlobe v snovi n pa lomni količnik (kvocient) snovi. Zakon je neodvisno od njega odkril pet let kasneje Descartes leta Istega leta 1621 je Snell še izboljšal Arhimedove metode in določil na 35 (34) decimalk in pri tem uporabljal enak mnogokotnik kot van Roomen leta (1597) s številom stranic n

Willebrord van Roijen SNELL Doðum Tarihi - 1580, Leiden, Hollanda
Ölüm Tarihi - 30 Ekim 1626, Leiden, Hollanda
Willebrord Snell studied law at the University of Leiden but was very interested in mathematics and taught mathematics even while he studied law. From about 1600 he travelled to various European countries, mostly discussing astronomy. In 1602 he went to Paris where his studies continued. He received his degree from Leiden in 1607.
Snell's father, Rudolph Snell (1546-1613), was professor of mathematics at Leiden and, in 1604, Willebrord visited Switzerland with his father. In 1613 he succeeded his father as professor of mathematics at the University of Leiden.
In 1617 Snell published Eratosthenes Batavus, which contains his methods for measuring the Earth. He proposed the method of triangulation and this work is the foundation of geodesy.
Snell also improved the classical method of calculating approximate values of p by polygons. Using his method 96 sided polygons give p correct to 7 places while the classical method yields only 2 places. van Ceulen's 35 places could be found with polygons of 230 sides rather than 262 .
Although he discovered the law of refraction, a basis of modern geometric optics, in 1621, he did not publish it and only in 1703 did it become known when Huygens published Snell's result in Dioptrica. Snell also discovered the sine law.

Why You Don't Believe Fermat's Principle Laurence Hecht (Full text of editorial from Fall 2001 21st Century Snell's Discovery Fermat's Principle Intention in Nature Confusion over the meaning of the term universal physical principle may be more prevalent in science today than at any time in history. In former times, although great differences existed on this matter, they were usually discussed. Today, we don't even bother. Hence, the most contradictory views coexist within the body of knowledge mis-termed modern science. One of the clearest dividing lines is over the matter of intention in nature. Despite the overwhelming evidence of a purposefulness in natural development, the modern view has replaced the idea of intention with that of mechanism. A theory is called scientific if it provides a credible mechanism, or model, to describe an observable natural phenomena. In one such model, dead objects (often called particles) are assumed to exist and are assigned certain properties, such as attraction, repulsion, or inertia
