Excerpt from Histoire des Sciences Mathématiques Et Physiques, Vol. 5: De Huyghens A Newton
Huyghens commença par combler cette lacune, et par démon trer, exactement comme nous le faisons aujourd'hui, au moyen du principe de l'indépendance des effets, dont il est le véritable inventeur, qu'une force constante en grandeur et en direction imprime à un mobile, supposé d'abord en repos, un mouvement rectiligne uniformément accéléré.
