Peter Barlow (1776-1862) was an English mathematician and engineer known for his contributions to various fields of mathematics, particularly in the area of mathematics applied to engineering and mechanics. He is perhaps best recognized for Barlow's wheel, a practical device for demonstrating the principles of rotary motion, and for his work on Barlow's theorem, which relates to the properties of functions.
