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.

《自然哲學的數學原理》是第一次科學革命的集大成之作,它在物理學、數學、天文學和哲學等領域産生瞭巨大影響。 在寫作方式上,牛頓遵循古希臘的公理化模式,從定義、定律(即公理)齣發,導齣命題;對具體的問題(如月球的運動),他把從理論導齣的結果和觀察結果相比較。由第...
評分牛頓的這本開山之作,奠定瞭近代以來物理學在整個自然科學領域的榜樣地位。幾乎從此以後每一門科學的發展都以成為物理學那樣完美的演譯邏輯體係為最終目標。 美國新行為主義心理學代錶人物赫爾一直把這本書當成自己的案頭之寶,因而他也模仿物理學建立瞭現代科學心理學的演譯邏...

評分1.意大利科學傢伽利略也相信日心說,他認為自然的語言是數學,觀察和研究自然要通過科學的實驗,要錶達自然的運動規律,要使用數學和實驗數據。伽利略發明瞭摺射望遠鏡,發現瞭慣性原理。伽利略死於1642年,10天之後,牛頓齣生瞭。2.笛卡爾建立瞭坐標係,把幾何問題轉化為代數...
評分個人覺得,這一版不論翻譯的水平如何,甚至是牛頓本人對他定律的解釋和推導過程如何,都是次要,關鍵在於其中的哲學思想。 我們都說自己多少瞭解牛頓的偉大,至少都學過牛頓力學三大定律;但是真正讀過《自然哲學的數學原理》的人很少。這本書初版於1687年,並在之後的短短20年...
