I am in awe of Isaac Newton. I can not fathom the intelligence required to write this work. It is truly an impressive accomplishment and I am luck to have found such a nice copy. ( ) Amazing -- so many things to discover then still tightly integrated together. Most of this work involves basics of physics and astronomy, including geometric proofs related to the moon's pull on tides, comets, fluid dynamics, et al. Newton did most of his truly cutting edge work in just a few concentrated years, but remained involved in political and educational offices for most of his 85 years. The geometric proofs often involve some very complex lemmas. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

In his monumental 1687 work, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, known familiarly as the Principia, Isaac Newton laid out in mathematical terms the principles of time, force, and motion that have guided the development of modern physical science. Even after more than three centuries and the revolutions of Einsteinian relativity and quantum mechanics, Newtonian physics continues to account for many of the phenomena of the observed world, and Newtonian celestial dynamics is used to determine the orbits of our space vehicles. This authoritative, modern translation by I. Bernard Cohen and Anne Whitman, the first in more than 285 years, is based on the 1726 edition, the final revised version approved by Newton; it includes extracts from the earlier editions, corrects errors found in earlier versions, and replaces archaic English with contemporary prose and up-to-date mathematical forms. Newton's principles describe acceleration, deceleration, and inertial movement; fluid dynamics; and the motions of the earth, moon, planets, and comets. A great work in itself, the Principia also revolutionized the methods of scientific investigation. It set forth the fundamental three laws of motion and the law of universal gravity, the physical principles that account for the Copernican system of the world as emended by Kepler, thus effectively ending controversy concerning the Copernican planetary system. The translation-only edition of this preeminent work is truly accessible for today's scientists, scholars, and students. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
