Synopsis

Newton's Principia: The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy is a seminal work in the field of physics and mathematics. Originally published in 1687, this book is considered one of the most important works in the history of science. In this book, Isaac Newton laid out his three laws of motion, which form the foundation of classical mechanics. He also introduced the concept of universal gravitation, which explains the force that attracts all objects in the universe to one another. The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the laws of motion and the principles of mechanics. The second part explores the motion of fluids and the behavior of air resistance. The third and final part is devoted to the study of the solar system and the laws of gravitation.This 1846 edition of the book was translated into English by Andrew Motte and includes additional commentary and explanations by the translator. The book is written in a highly mathematical language and is intended for readers with a strong background in mathematics and physics. However, it remains a landmark work in the history of science and is still studied and referenced by scientists and scholars today.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1846 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

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."
