[PAR] [TLE] Christiaan Huygens [SEP] Christiaan Huygens, FRS ( or ; ] ) (Latin: "Hugenius" ) (14 April 1629 – 8 July 1695) was a prominent Dutch mathematician and scientist.  He is known particularly as an astronomer, physicist, probabilist and horologist. [PAR] [TLE] Tractrix [SEP] A tractrix (from the Latin verb "trahere" "pull, drag"; plural: tractrices) is the curve along which an object moves, under the influence of friction, when pulled on a horizontal plane by a line segment attached to a tractor (pulling) point that moves at a right angle to the initial line between the object and the puller at an infinitesimal speed.  It is therefore a curve of pursuit.  It was first introduced by Claude Perrault in 1670, and later studied by Isaac Newton (1676) and Christiaan Huygens (1692).
