Review

To grasp the truly awesome nature of Newton's achievement in the Principia, it is necessary to turn to Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar's Newton's Principia for the Common Reader... THis is a valuable guide to the Principia - certainly beyond the level of the "common reader" - that will take its place in the succession of major commentaries on the Principia of the past three centuries. (Physics Today November 1996 )

Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
Some acquaintance, with the antecedents of the less than two years-from the late autumn of 1684 to the early summer of 1686-in which Newton composed the entire Principia, is essential to a proper appreciation of the range and variety of the topics that are treated in it in depth and with rare perception. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Newton's Principia, 4 Jun 2009
By L. J. Wilson (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not for the faint-hearted "general reader" (for whom it is said to be written). Even so a seamless exposition of Newton's mathematics in every area presented with clarity. Attractive diagrams too. You will need a very good command of mathematics to make the most of it.
