Why Is Ferdinand Freudenstein Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Ferdinand Freudenstein was an American physicist and engineer known as the "Father of Modern Kinematics." Freudenstein applied digital computation to the kinematic synthesis of mechanismss. In his Ph.D. dissertation, he developed what became known as the Freudenstein equation, which uses a simple algebraic method to synthesize planar four-bar function generators.
