Principia
Principia The short form of the title of Isaac
Newton's treatise
Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica (‘Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy’, 1st edition 1687, 2nd edition 1713). One of the most important scientific books ever written, it deals with the celestial mechanics of the Solar System and for the first time weaves together mathematical analysis and physical observation. It sets out
Newton's law of gravitation and
Newton's laws of motion, presents derivations of
Kepler's laws, and shows how the inverse-square law of gravitation produces motion in an ellipse. There are mathematical treatments of many other phenomena, including the tides and cometary orbits.
