    Extractions: Simon Stevin Simon Stevin Simon Stevin werd waarschijnlijk in 1548 in Brugge geboren als buitenechtelijk kind van Catalyne van der Poort en Anthuenis Stevin. Verder is over de eerste dertig jaar weinig bekend. In 1577 wordt hij Klerk in Brugge. Daarvoor was hij boekhouder in Antwerpen en voerde de methode van het Italiaans (dubbel)boekhouden in Nederland in. Hij heeft nogal wat in Europa rondgezworven en dit is te zien aan de opmerkingen uit Stevin’s latere werk. In 1581 verhuist hij naar Leiden waar hij zich laat inschrijven aan de universiteit. Naast zijn studie publiceert hij werken en is hij bezig met voornamelijk waterbouwkundige werken. Zo verlenen de staten van Holland hem een patent die te maken hebben met een door hem uitgevonden watermolen. Hij geeft advies bij baggerwerkwerkzaamheden en is betrokken bij de bouw van nieuwe watermolens en verbetering van oude. Hierbij werkt hij samen met Johan Hugo Cornets de Groot ( de vader van de bekende Hugo de Groot In 1586 heeft hij een valproef gedaan die Galilei in 1589 voor het eerst zou hebben uitgevoerd. Daarover bestaat dit citaat: ‘Hij ( de Groot) is erbij aanwezig, wanneer Stevin van de toren van Delft zijn beroemde valproeven doet. Aristoteles heeft eens beweerd, dat de zwaarste lichamen het snelst vallen. Stevin toont aan dat dit niet zo is. Twee loden ballen, waarvan de ene tien maal zo zwaar is als de andere, worden tegelijkertijd losgelaten van een hoogte van circa tien meter. Stevin komt tot de conclusie, "datse t’samen so gelyck opt bart vallen, dat haer beyde gheluyden een selve clop schijnt te wezen.’

    Biography of simon stevin (15481620) simon stevin s father was Anthuenis (Anton) stevin who, it is believed, was a cadet son of a mayor of Veurne.  
    http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Stevin.html
    
    Extractions: Version for printing Simon Stevin 's father was Anthuenis (Anton) Stevin who, it is believed, was a cadet son of a mayor of Veurne. His mother was Cathelijne (or Catelyne) van der Poort who was the daughter of a burgher family of Ypres. Anthuenis and Cathelijne were not married but Simon's mother Cathelijne later married a man who was involved in selling carpets and in the silk trade. By marriage Cathelijne joined a family who were Calvinists. Nothing is known of Simon's early years or of his education although one assumes he was brought up in the Calvinist tradition. Stevin became a bookkeeper and cashier with a firm in Antwerp. It is known that he spent some time between the years 1571 to 1577 travelling in Poland, Prussia and Norway. Then in 1577 he took a job as a clerk in the tax office at Brugge. After this he moved to Leiden in 1581 where he first attended the Latin school, then he entered the University of Leiden in 1583 (at the age of 35). Various theories have been put forward as to why he moved to Leiden. To understand these we need to look briefly at the history of the period. The Union of Utrecht on 23 January 1579 was designed to form a block (known as the States-General) within the larger union of the Low Countries which would resist Spanish rule. It produced a union in the north Netherlands, still officially under the rule of the King of Spain, but distinct from the south. The strong reaction against the Spanish followed the start of a reign of terror by the Spanish occupation in the south beginning around 1567. The north was predominantly Calvinist and effectively ruled by William, Prince of Orange. In 1581 the States-General declared independence from Spain and a complex situation followed as foreign help was enlisted.

    Extractions: Simon Stevin Simon Stevin nasceu em Burges. Filho ilegítimo de ricos cidadãos flamengos, iniciou sua carreira profissional como coletor de impostos. Depois dos vinte anos de idade viajou pela Noruega, Polônia e Prússia e, na volta, estabeleceu-se na atual Holanda. Em 1581 passou a estudar em Leiden e dois anos depois entrou para a universidade local na qual, após formar-se, passou a ensinar matemática. Em 1585 publicou De thiende , de grande influência na engenharia, na prática comercial e na notação matemática e de grande popularidade na época. Em 1593 foi nomeado para um importante posto no exército holandês, por ordem do príncipe De Nassau, o que contribuiu para se tornar um grande engenheiro militar e assumir outros postos importantes no governo até sua morte, em Haia. Sua contribuição científica ao desenvolvimento da mecânica também foi notável. Na sua obra destacam-se três importantes publicações, todas editadas em Leiden e em holandês, em 1586: Princípios de estática , uma espécie de continuação dos trabalhos de Arquimedes (teoria da alavanca, centro de gravidade dos corpos, etc., e o teorema dos planos inclinados)

    Extractions: Send it to a friend! Born illegitimate, Stevin was raised in poverty and began his career as a bookkeeper before becoming a tax clerk around Bruges. In 1581 he moved to Leyden and eventually went to University in 1583, aged thirty-five, where he stayed for seven years. He earned a living from his inventions, which focused on the many canals and waterways around him. His machines included mechanical devices for dredging, a mill to pump water and a device to pull ships over obstacles. He developed and promoted the use of sluices, appreciating their military value in flooding approaching enemies, and researched hydrostatics to assess the stability of floating platforms used in military assaults. His work - the first in this field since Archimedes - showed that the pressure exerted by a liquid upon a given surface depended on the height of the liquid and the area of the surface. Fusing theoretical knowledge with practical skill, Stevin published extensively on mathematics, military and civil engineering and mechanics. He published the first theoretical treatise on mills, and patented improvements to their gearing and scoop wheels. He developed a triangulation instrument, the triquetium, and made important contributions to geography, navigation and trigonometry. In La Theinde (published 1585), he introduced decimal fractions to mathematics, writing 8.937 as 80913273. The first figure was the integer or unit of commencement (represented by the 0), and subsequent ones the prime, second and third represented by the 1, 2 and 3.
