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.

3月28號是牛頓的忌日,但是知道的人很少,我們畢竟更關心瀋殿霞和張國榮。 其實牛頓老師在科學圈裏曾經很有權勢,被女王封瞭爵位成瞭貴族,人稱牛爵爺,官至 皇傢造幣局局長兼皇傢學會會長。如果阿爾伯特沒有辭瞭以色列總統的話和他有一拼。 說他有權勢並不僅是官大,主要是貢...
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...
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...

評分這個還不不算書評,我們學習瞭將近十幾年的數學,小學、初中、大學、研究生一直都在學習,可是我們到底有沒有在某個時候考慮過,這些東西到底是從哪裏來的,就和思考人生一樣,我們從哪裏來到那裏去,什麼是生活。 應試教育不錯,可是如果能加上一些哲學原理可能會更好吧,哎,...
