The theoretical researches on this subject were first developed in a consistent theory, in 1765, by Euler, who studied the theory of the motion of a rotating rigid body. Bradley shortly before, in 1737, had discovered the first forced nutation, with a period of 18.6 years, which was explained by d'Alembert.
