Fun day at the Former Niels Bohr Library & Archives Archives as #SoR History Liaison Committee rep - got to handle an original Copernicus era copy of Ptolemy and an original copy of Bernoulli’s Hydrodynamica ...check out the great streamline drawings #histphys #WennerCollection

100 years ago the mathematician & physicist Léon Van Hove was born!
He contributed to many fields e.g. #mathematics , #nuclear_physics and #cosmology . He clearly made an impact as a theorem, a singularity and a function all bear his name!
