William George Horner... =)

William George Horner (1786 - 22nd September 1837) was a british mathematician and schoolmaster. In 1834, he invented a device called the zoetrope just two years after Joseph Plateau invented the phenakistoscope. 

The zoetrope is a device that produces the illusion of movement by using a rapid succession of images in a spinning cylinder with viewing slits around the sides. As the cylinder spins around the user looks through the slits at the pictures on the opposite side of the cylinder interior. The scanning of the slits keeps the images from simply blurring together so that the user can see the succession of images which produces motion.
