Description
Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) is a book written by the English mathematician and physicist, Sir Isaac Newton. First published in 1687, it is considered one of the most important works in the history of science. The book lays out Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation, which explain the behavior of objects in motion and the forces that act upon them. It also includes his three laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation, which describe the relationship between the motion of objects and the forces acting on them. The book is written in Latin and is divided into three parts, covering mechanics, fluids, and the theory of gravitation. It includes many mathematical equations and diagrams, making it a challenging read for those without a strong background in mathematics and physics. However, it remains a seminal work in the history of science and has had a profound impact on the development of modern physics and astronomy.Text Is In Italian.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
