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

Huygens' theory was particularly useful to explain diffraction (“the strange refraction of the Iceland crystal”), but had some remarkable difficulties to explain the apparent propagation of the light along straight lines. The easiest way for me is If you look at this you find that it's a vector in the direction of motion, and, per the uncertainty principle, describes the degree of uncertainty in terms of the relationship between displacement and momentum. I expect disagreement, but that's why we're here. Hadamard, in a series of lectures at Yale University, formulated in mathematical terms three different meanings of “Huygens' principle” he found in the literature of his time (Hadamard 1953). Language: English Released: 1950. To overcome In 1923, the French mathematician J. The article will appear in the magazine's . 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. 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. GO THE MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF HUYGEN'S PRINCIPLE. My thesis is that the “wave” theory of light is a circular argument, based on Huygens untested assumption that waves impinge on a slit (or edge).
