The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy - I Newton

5 Stars for Pure Genius

It scared the life out of me when I saw the size of this book but like paulsaunders18 said, don't be put off by the size of the book. I've read bits here and there and it does amaze me how Newton wrote this book, it's no surprise nobody could write anything to confront him. I really recommend this book to anybody that knows of Newton's works like F=ma, but that is all high school stuff. Newton really really makes you think hard in following his work which is an honour to read. No wonder he went mad. Buy it..quick..in the mean time do some weights.

The Principia

Sir Isaac Newton was lucky that it was an apple that struck him on his head, and not this book, its the size of a patio stone. But, please, don't be put off by this fact, it is broken down very well, and provides a great insight into the lives work of one of our Great Britains.

A world-altering classic

This book changed the course of science and human knowledge. Isaac Newton was one of the first natural philosophers to understand that mathematics could be used to predict the behaviour of natural phenomena. Rightly ranked as one of the three greatest mathematicians ever, this is his most famous work.
