The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He made various contributions in many areas of science and engineering, both theoretical and practical.
- He also translated various mathematical terms into Dutch, making it one of the few European languages in which the word for mathematics, wiskunde, was not a loanword from Greek but a calque via Latin.
- He also replaced the word chemie, the Dutch for chemistry, by scheikunde, made in analogy with wiskunde.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Simon Stevin article was read about 28,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 66: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
