Sir Isaac Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy and His System of the World, (Hardcover)

Sir Isaac Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy and His System of the World is a seminal work in the field of physics and mathematics. It was first published in 1687 and is considered one of the most important scientific texts of all time. The book presents Newton's laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation, which together form the foundation of classical mechanics. The book is divided into three parts. The first part lays out the laws of motion and explains how they apply to objects in motion. The second part introduces the law of universal gravitation and explains how it can be used to calculate the motion of planets and other celestial bodies. The third part applies these laws to the study of fluids and the motion of objects through them. The book is written in a highly mathematical style, with numerous equations and diagrams. However, it is also accessible to non-experts and has been widely read and studied by scientists and scholars for centuries. Newton's work revolutionized our understanding of the physical world and laid the groundwork for modern physics and engineering.1686. Translated into English by Andrew Motte in 1729, this book is a complete volume of Newton's mathematical principles relating to natural philosophy and his system of the world. Newton, one of the most brilliant scientists and thinkers of all time, presents his theories, formulas and thoughts. Included are chapters relative to the motion of bodies; motion of bodies in resisting mediums; and system of the world in mathematical treatment; a section on axioms or laws of motion, and definitions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
