WILLEBRORD SNELL
Willebrord Snell was an early seventeenth century Dutch mathematician who is best known for his discovery of refraction. He was born in 1580 in a place called Lieden. Snell began to study math at a very young age as he was very interested in it. his father, Rudolph Snell, was a professor of mathematics at Leiden.
Willebrord entered the university of Leiden at a young age where he originally studied law. Not long after, he turned his attention towards math and started teaching at the university by the time he was 20. After finishing with a degree, he traveled to eastern Europe and visited most of the famous astronomers today.
In 1613, Snell succeeded his father as professor of mathematics. In 1617, he published "Eratosthenes Batavus", which explained his methodology for measuring the earth by triangulation. Snell had difficulty in finishing the book, however , he got help to finish it.
Snell published other books, including his work on comets and in 1624 he published "Tiphys Batavus". This piece of work was on navigational theories.
Although Snell discovered the law of refraction, he didn't publish it. He discovered this in 1621 and only in 1703 did it become known when "Huygens" published his results in "Dioptrica".

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
