Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica

Book • 1713
Isaac Newton's "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" is a landmark work in physics, laying the foundation for classical mechanics.

Newton presents his three laws of motion, explaining the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.

He also introduces the law of universal gravitation, describing the attractive force between any two objects with mass.

The Principia revolutionized our understanding of the physical world, providing a mathematical framework for describing celestial and terrestrial motion.

Its impact on science and technology has been profound and enduring.
