2. Biography William Horner was a mathematician and school
headmaster from Bristol. Born in 1786, his father was from Ireland,
who also happened to have the same name as him. At the age of only
14, he became an assistant master at Kingswood school, in 1800. He
became headmaster 4 years later at the age of 18. Nine years later,
he founded his own school called The Seminary in Bath. He came up
with the idea of the zoetrope, which was originally named the
Daedalum, for his mathematic classes to teach his students in a
easier manner, with pictures. 3. Basic Video Description 4. First
