"A native of Bruges, Stevin is known as the "Father" of modern statics (...). Stevin took part in the siege of Jülig in 1610, and used his experience in the formulation of his books. He innovatively bound together castrametation with siege strategy, tactics and fortification design, creating a scientific axis between them. Furthermore, the use of sluices made a virtue out of the excessive water channels of Holland, by placing them at the center of a new national fortification method." (Pollak).
