Arithmetica Universalis V1: Sive De Compositione Et Resolutione Arithmetica (1761) est liber Isaac Newton, celeberrimi philosophi et mathematici, qui continet tractatum de arithmetica universali. In hoc volumine, Newton disserit de compositione et resolutione arithmetica, et explicat regulas et principia mathematica quae in arithmetica applicari possunt. Liber est scriptus in lingua Latina, et est una ex operibus mathematicis clavibus saeculi XVIII.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.

Newton's new conception of the laws of the universe challenged centuries of received opinion, and laid a new foundation for our - common sense - understanding of the physical world. This book guides you through the essentials of Newton's argument in his own words, using only elementary mathematics.

First published in 1962, this volume collects together some of Newton's most important scientific papers. Chosen primarily to illustrate Newton's ideas on the nature of matter, the papers afford valuable insights into Newton's development as a scientist and his ideas of the world that science explores.

In his monumental 1687 work,Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, known familiarly as thePrincipia, 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. Newtons principles describe acceleration, deceleration, and inertial movement; fluid dynamics; and the motions of the earth, moon, planets, and comets. A great work in itself, thePrincipiaalso 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 illuminating Guide to Newtons Principiaby I. Bernard Cohen makes this preeminent work truly accessible for todays scientists, scholars, and students.
