Newton's Principia : The mathematical principles of natural philosophy by Newton
"Newton's Principia: The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" by Isaac Newton is a three-volume work first published in 1687. Written in Latin, it presents Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation, creating a mathematical foundation for classical mechanics. The work explains planetary motion, estimates celestial masses, accounts for tides and Earth's shape, and addresses comets' orbits. Considered among history's greatest scientific achievements, it transformed scattered observations into systematic sciences of physics and
astronomy, fundamentally altering humanity's understanding of the natural world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
