In his monumental 1687 work, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, known familiarly as the Principia, Isaac Newton laid out in mathematical terms the principles of time, force, and motion that have guided the development of modern physical science. Even after more than three centuries and the revolutions of Einsteinian relativity and quantum mechanics, Newtonian physics continues to account for many of the phenomena of the observed world, and Newtonian celestial dynamics is used to determine the orbits of our space vehicles.
This authoritative, modern translation by I. Bernard Cohen and Anne Whitman, the first in more than 285 years, is based on the 1726 edition, the final revised version approved by Newton; it includes extracts from the earlier editions, corrects errors found in earlier versions, and replaces archaic English with contemporary prose and up-to-date mathematical forms.
Newton's principles describe acceleration, deceleration, and inertial movement; fluid dynamics; and the motions of the earth, moon, planets, and comets. A great work in itself, the Principia also revolutionized the methods of scientific investigation. It set forth the fundamental three laws of motion and the law of universal gravity, the physical principles that account for the Copernican system of the world as emended by Kepler, thus effectively ending controversy concerning the Copernican planetary system.
The translation-only edition of this preeminent work is truly accessible for today's scientists, scholars, and students.

评分《自然哲学的数学原理》是第一次科学革命的集大成之作，它在物理学、数学、天文学和哲学等领域产生了巨大影响。 在写作方式上，牛顿遵循古希腊的公理化模式，从定义、定律（即公理）出发，导出命题；对具体的问题（如月球的运动），他把从理论导出的结果和观察结果相比较。由第...
评分對牛頓一直有一種普遍觀點：牛頓晚年犯了錯誤，放棄了科學，而專注於神學。 這其實是一種借用評價中國政治人物是非功過的寫法，很好地迎合了一般人認為科學與神學水火不容、涇渭分明的期望。 從先前的哥白尼、伽俐略、開普勒、笛卡爾，到牛頓同時代的科學家惠更...
