Product Description

Review
"Will be of interest to a wide scientific and scholarly audience. . . the new translation flows smoothly and elegantly."--"Times Higher Education Supplement

Product Description
In his 1687 work "Philosphiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica", known 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. This text is a translation, based on the third (1726) edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars for Pure Genius, 8 May 2005

By	"gausswasthegreatone" - See all my reviews

It scared the life out of me when I saw the size of this book but like paulsaunders18 said, don't be put off by the size of the book. I've read bits here and there and it does amaze me how Newton wrote this book, it's no surprise nobody could write anything to confront him. I really recommend this book to anybody that knows of Newton's works like F=ma, but that is all high school stuff. Newton really really makes you think hard in following his work which is an honour to read. No wonder he went mad. Buy it..quick..in the mean time do some weights.

5.0 out of 5 stars A world-altering classic, 4 Mar 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy (Paperback)

This book changed the course of science and human knowledge. Isaac Newton was one of the first natural philosophers to understand that mathematics could be used to predict the behaviour of natural phenomena. Rightly ranked as one of the three greatest mathematicians ever, this is his most famous work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Original Newton is the most interesting, 22 Mar 2009

By	Jens Peter Mortensen (Denmark) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy (Paperback)

It is refreshing for a layman to read the original Principia by Newton, and not interpretations. The first explanatory part of the book forms a good supplement to the original text.
