Newton's Principia - Isaac Newton - Bog

Newton's Principia: The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy is a landmark work in the history of science, written by the renowned physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton. Originally published in 1687, this book is a comprehensive treatise on the laws of motion and the principles of gravitation that govern the behavior of objects in the natural world. In this book, Newton presents his three laws of motion, which describe how objects move in response to forces, and his law of universal gravitation, which explains how all objects in the universe are attracted to one another. He also applies these principles to a wide range of phenomena, from the motion of planets and comets to the behavior of fluids and the tides. The Principia is widely regarded as one of the most important works in the history of science, and it has had a profound impact on our understanding of the natural world. It is also a masterpiece of mathematical reasoning, with Newton's elegant proofs and calculations demonstrating the power of mathematical methods in scientific inquiry. This edition of the Principia, published in 1846, includes an English translation of the original Latin text, as well as a detailed commentary by the British mathematician and physicist George Green. Green's commentary provides additional insights into Newton's work, explaining the significance of his discoveries and the methods he used to arrive at them. Overall, Newton's Principia is a foundational work in the history of science, and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of physics, mathematics, or scientific inquiry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
