The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy
Book • 2016
Published in 1687, this book is a seminal work in the history of science.
It lays out Newton's three laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation, which revolutionized the understanding of physics and astronomy.
The book is divided into three volumes and includes Newton's mathematical methods, particularly in the form of geometric propositions, to explain natural phenomena such as planetary motion and the behavior of comets.
It also introduces the 'Rules of Reasoning in Philosophy' which provide a methodology for scientific inquiry.
