Info

talented and productive inventor, mathematician and astronomer, Christiaan Jr. needed the help of his father to become the best-paid member of the Académie Royale des Sciences. 424 Acknowledgments I would like to start by thanking Mario Biagioli for his very inspiring and committed supervision during the process of writing this Master’s thesis. Despite his busy schedule, time and supportive words were always available. I want to thank both Mario and Albert van Helden for the great opportunity they have offered me to pursue my research at the Department of History of Science of Harvard University. Lodewijk Palm and Albert van Helden I want to thank for overseeing the process and giving useful comments on the manuscript. For help with translations and references I am grateful to Valeria Sergueenkova, Aled Jones, Jean-François Gauvin and Rienk Vermij. Special thanks to the people who read draft-versions and offered important ideas for improvement: Ed Wouk and Robert-Jan Wille. But above all, I want to thank the person that has offered much support and critical comment, always managing to revitalize my enthusiasm for and belief in my project and its deadlines – Stephanie Roels. 424 STROUP, A.
