Thompson, Tait, and Maxwell, whose works are in everybodys hands, and partly because in the course of reading recommended to students, for whose benefit my work was especially intended, those laws will have been already discussed in the elementary treatises on Dynamics. The Problems are principally selected from the papers set in theM athematical Tripos, and in the course of the College Examinations, and I have generally divided them into two portions, the first of which contains those problems which are capable of solution by more direct applications of the propositions which they illustrate, and are within the powers of a larger number of students In both portions I have been careful to introduce very few problems which are not capable of solution by methods given in the work. At the end of the work I have given hints for the solution, and in many cases complete solutions, of the problems; and in doing so I am acting in direct opposition to my previously expressed opinion, but additional experience of fifteen years has shewn me that it a satisfaction to a student who has not been able to solve a problem to see a solution of it; and, even when he has been successful, to compare his solution with that of an older hand.

The author clearly presents the original text, interweaving explanations, demonstrations, and interpretations to illuminate Newton's methods and ideas. The book places Newton's work in its historical context, demonstrating its groundbreaking nature and outlining its enduring significance. It examines key concepts such as the "method of first and ultimate ratios," a precursor to calculus and essential for understanding Newton's approach to motion and change. Delving into the mathematical framework of Newtonian mechanics, the book explores the concepts of quantities, ratios, and limits, providing a solid foundation for understanding Newton's mathematical reasoning. It presents essential principles through a blend of accessible language and geometric representations, guiding readers through Newton's innovative ideas on forces, motion, and gravity. The author's thorough analysis and lucid explanations reveal the depth and precision of Newton's work, showcasing his profound impact on scientific thought. By contextualizing Newton's theories and methods, the book offers a valuable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the history and foundations of classical mechanics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
