Produktbeschreibung

The book that redefined the universe-and laid the foundation of modern science. The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy (1687), known as the Principia Mathematica, by Isaac Newton, is one of the most influential works in human history. In this monumental text, Newton formulates the laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation, providing a unified framework that explained both earthly mechanics and the motion of the heavens. With rigorous mathematics and groundbreaking insight, he transformed natural philosophy into modern physics. More than a scientific treatise, the Principia represents a revolution in thought-a turning point that shaped astronomy, mechanics, and the Enlightenment itself. Its impact echoes in every branch of science and continues to inspire scholars, scientists, and thinkers to this day. For students of science, philosophy, or history, The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy remains essential reading: the origin of the modern scientific worldview. ¿¿¿¿ Click "Buy Now" and explore Isaac Newton's timeless masterpiece that unlocked the laws of the universe.

Autorenporträt

Sir Isaac Newton, FRS , was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, and alchemist. His Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, is considered to be the most influential book in the history of science. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, laying the groundwork for classical mechanics, which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries and is the basis for modern engineering. Newton showed that the motions of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation, thus removing the last doubts about heliocentrism and advancing the scientific revolution.In mechanics, Newton enunciated the principles of conservation of momentum and angular momentum. In optics, he invented the reflecting telescope and developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into a visible spectrum. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound.In mathematics, Newton shares the credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the development of the differential and integral calculus. He also demonstrated the generalised binomial theorem, developed the so-called "Newton's method" for approximating the zeroes of a function, and contributed to the study of power series.Newton was also highly religious (though unorthodox), producing more work on Biblical hermeneutics than the natural science he is remembered for today.In a 2005 poll of the Royal Society asking who had the greater effect on the history of science, Newton was deemed much more influential than Albert Einstein.
