Synopsis
Newton's Principia: The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy is a seminal work in the field of physics and mathematics, written by the renowned scientist and mathematician, Sir Isaac Newton. First published in 1687, this book revolutionized the way we understand the universe, laying the foundation for modern physics and calculus.The book is divided into three sections, covering the laws of motion, the principles of gravitation, and the behavior of fluids. In the first section, Newton introduces his three laws of motion, which describe how objects move in relation to each other. These laws form the basis of classical mechanics and are still used today to explain the behavior of objects in motion.In the second section, Newton presents his law of universal gravitation, which explains how all objects in the universe are attracted to each other. This law is based on the idea that every object in the universe exerts a gravitational force on every other object, and the strength of this force depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.In the final section, Newton applies his mathematical principles to the study of fluids, including the behavior of gases and liquids. He also discusses the concept of viscosity, which describes the resistance of fluids to flow.Overall, Newton's Principia is a groundbreaking work that has had a profound impact on the field of physics and mathematics. It is still considered one of the most important scientific works ever written and is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of science or the foundations of modern physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
Présentation de l'éditeur
Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, often referred to as simply the Principia, is a work in three books by Isaac Newton, in Latin, first published 5 July 1687. The Principia states Newton's laws of motion, forming the foundation of classical mechanics; Newton's law of universal gravitation; and a derivation of Kepler's laws of planetary motion (which Kepler first obtained empirically). The Principia is "justly regarded as one of the most important works in the history of science". Alexis Clairaut assessed it in 1747: "The famous book of mathematical Principles of natural Philosophy marked the epoch of a great revolution in physics. The method followed by its illustrious author Sir Newton ... spread the light of mathematics on a science which up to then had remained in the darkness of conjectures and hypotheses." A more recent assessment has been that while acceptance of Newton's theories was not immediate, by the end of a century after publication, "no one could deny that" (out of the Principia) "a science had emerged that, at least in certain respects, so far exceeded anything that had ever gone before that it stood alone as the ultimate exemplar of science generally."
