Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book, originally published in the 17th century, lays the foundations of modern physics, introducing methods that will change the way we study mathematics, astronomy, and mechanics. The author begins by defining basic concepts like mass, volume, and time. Then he proposes the inverse-square laws of motion and gravitation to explain the behavior of objects in motion, a paradigm shift from Aristotle's theories. The new mathematics in this book became the bedrock for advances in artillery, engineering, and the push toward the Industrial Revolution where Newton's ideas were used to continually improve the efficiency of machines and engines.
