          A famous mathematician:

Christian Andreas Doppler (1803-1853) is an austrian physicist and mathematician. He is well known for his works on the Doppler effect.

Imagine that the car on this photo has a siren on it.
In this picture, the person situated in front of the car hears the siren better than the one on the back because, in front of the car, the distance between the waves is smaller than the distance of the waves on the back of the car.
