Life
Rohault was born in
Cartesian physics. His Wednesday lectures in Paris became celebrated; they began in the 1650s, and attracted in particular Pierre-Sylvain Régis.[2]
Rohault died on December 27, 1672, in Paris.
Works
Rohault held to the
gravitation of Christiaan Huygens, given in terms of an experiment.[6] The translation of Samuel Clarke (initially into Latin) gained an independent status, and numerous editions, through its annotations that purported to correct it with reference to the theories of Isaac Newton. Rohault's experimental orientation remained popular, despite the criticisms of his theories.[3]
The Traité referred to a model of the eye that Rohault had worked on.Nicholas Steno.[8]
