The first success was achieved on December 3, 1967, by Christiaan Barnard in Cape Town, South Africa.

He was admitted to the ICU of the Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital with a serious skull fracture.

* January 2-Dr. Christiaan Barnard performs the second successful human heart transplant, in South Africa, on Philip Blaiberg, who survives for nineteen months.

* December 3-Dr Christiaan Barnard and a team including his brother Marius perform the first successful human heart transplant, at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, on Louis Washkansky, who survives for eighteen days.

It was founded in 1938 and is famous for being the institution where the first human heart transplant took place, conducted by University of Cape Town-educated surgeon Christiaan Barnard on the patient Louis Washkansky.

She allegedly had an affair with Dr Christiaan Barnard, the South African heart surgeon.

Other popular choices ranged from Professor Christiaan Barnard, the pioneering heart surgeon, to General Jan Smuts, wartime Prime Minister and co-founder of the League of Nations, to Shaka Zulu, the 19th Century warrior leader of the Zulu Nation, to Internet entrepreneur and civilian space traveller Mark Shuttleworth.

In recognition of these and other achievements he was knighted in 1971 further confirming a national prominence comparable to that achieved by René Favaloro in Argentina and Christiaan Barnard in South Africa.

He was first seen by Dr. Barry Kaplan, who in July 1966 had asked if Mr Christiaan Barnard would be willing to attend Washkansky.

The procedure was performed by Christiaan Barnard.

Denise Ann Darvall ( 1943 – 3 December 1967 ) was the donor in the world ’ s first successful human heart transplant, performed at Groote Schuur Hospital, South Africa, by a team of surgeons led by Christiaan Barnard.

Christiaan Huygens, FRS ( or ; ; 14 April 1629 – 8 July 1695 ) was a prominent Dutch mathematician, astronomer, physicist and horologist.

Christiaan Huygens was born in April 1629 at The Hague, the second son of Constantijn Huygens, ( 1596 – 1687 ), friend of mathematician, philosopher and minor physicist René Descartes, and of Suzanna van Baerle ( deceased 1637 ), whom Constantijn had married on 6 April 1627.

In his 1678 Traité de la Lumiere, Christiaan Huygens showed how Snell's law of sines could be explained by, or derived from, the wave nature of light, using what we have come to call the Huygens – Fresnel principle.

For their ideas on derivatives, both Newton and Leibniz built on significant earlier work by mathematicians such as Isaac Barrow ( 1630 – 1677 ), René Descartes ( 1596 – 1650 ), Christiaan Huygens ( 1629 – 1695 ), Blaise Pascal ( 1623 – 1662 ) and John Wallis ( 1616 – 1703 ).
