Sobre este artículo
Sir Isaac Newton's Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles) is considered to be among the finest scientific works ever published. His grand unifying idea of gravitation, with effects extending throughout the solar system, explains by one principle such diverse phenomena as the tides, the precession of the equinoxes, and the irregularities of the moon's motion.Newton's brilliant and revolutionary contributions to science explained the workings of a large part of inanimate nature mathematically and suggested that the remainder might be understood in a similar fashion. By taking known facts, forming a theory that explained them in mathematical terms, deducing consequences from the theory, and comparing the results with observed and experimental facts, Newton united, for the first time, the explication of physical phenomena with the means of prediction. By beginning with the physical axioms of the laws of motion and gravitation, he converted physics from a mere science of explanation into a general mathematical system.

El Oct 29 2010, Dan1983 dijo:
I'll divide this review in two sections, the first one dealing with the contents of the book and the other one regarding the book's physical presentation.This is 1999's edition by UC Berkeley's press of the final 1726;s revised latin edition of the Principia. This edition is normally the gold standard against which any edition of Newton's work is measured, after all Cohen has been publishing books about Newton's life and work since the 1970's.Now the book itself is sturdy, thick white paper, approximately 4.5 pounds, however paying the extra 40 usd when compared with the soft cover edition of this book may seem too much for some people and that's understandable.
