"Neue Entdeckungen Betreffend Die Refraction In Gläsern" (New Discoveries Concerning Refraction in Glasses) is a significant historical work on optics, authored by Leonhard Euler and Johann L. Steiner. This treatise delves into the intricacies of light refraction through glass, presenting novel findings and mathematical analyses. The work showcases Euler's profound contributions to physics and mathematics, addressing fundamental questions about how light behaves when passing through different mediums.
This book is invaluable for historians of science, physicists, and mathematicians interested in the development of optical theory during the Enlightenment. Euler's rigorous approach and detailed explanations provide a clear understanding of the scientific challenges and breakthroughs of the era. This text remains relevant for those seeking to understand the historical context of modern optical science and appreciate the enduring legacy of Euler's scientific work.
