Summary[edit]
| Description |
Nederlands: Standbeeld van Simon Stevin, door Louis Eugène Simonis (1811-1893)op het Simon Stevinplein te Brugge -- detail. Het standbeeld werd onthuld in 1847.
Simon Stevin (Brugge, 1548 – Den Haag of Leiden, 1620) was een Vlaams toegepast wiskundige, natuurkundige en ingenieur. In 1581 week hij uit naar Leiden. Rond 1590 werd hij adviseur van Prins Maurits. Stevin gebruikte als eerste de onmogelijkheid van een perpetuum mobile (Eeuwich roersel, 't welk valsch is) om natuurkundige wetten te bewijzen zoals het ontbinden van krachten. Het Clootcransbewijs is een voorbeeld van zijn aanschouwelijke bewijstrant. Zonder evenwicht zou de krans moeten bewegen. Stevin gebruikte het als zijn beeldmerk.English: Statue of Simon Stevin at the Simon Stevinplein in Bruges -- detail. The statue was erected in 1847.
Simon Stevin (1548/49 – 1620) was a Flemish mathematician and engineer. He was active in a great many areas of science and engineering, both theoretical and practical. He emigrated to Holland in 1581 and became tutor to Prince Maurice at about 1590. Stevin proved the law of the equilibrium on an inclined plane, using an ingenious and intuitive diagram, called clootcrans, showing a rope containing evenly spaced beads draped over an inclined plane. |
