Publisher's 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.
