Wednesday- Christiaan Hugyan

   On Wednesday, one of the most interesting things that I learned was learning of the works of Chrisiaan Hugyan.  I had a little memory of his work from previous Physics classes, but was not completely sure what he did as a whole.  Being able to see all of his original instruments and experiments at the museum was very cool and then being able to see his original notebooks/ "scribbling" was even more impressive at the Library. It was easy to see how important his works were and how important he is to the history of Lieden as a town.    I know that after this trip I will know this scientist's work better because of how I was able to experience it here.

  1. It is an interesting experience seeing a more indepth veiw of a historical figure more that the over view we get summerized and edited to us in high school.
