The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy book - Flame Tree Publishing

Mathematical principles of natural philosophy, often known as Principia, are one of the most important scientific works ever created and have had a profound influence on modern science. Consisting of three separate books, the Principia define Newton's laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. Understanding and accepting these theories was not immediate, but by the late 17th century, no one could deny that Newton had greatly surpassed all previous works and revolutionized scientific thinking.

The magnificent works of FLAME TREE, shaping our world, are a new series of ultimate books drawing from ancient, medieval, and contemporary writings. Offering a wealth of essential knowledge and fascinating stories, they satisfy every aspect of human curiosity: scientific, philosophical, sociological, romantic, dramatic, and mysterious. From the ancient wisdom of the Mahabharata to the extraordinary power of Don Quixote, Boccaccio's Decameron, and Melville's classic Moby Dick, from the scientific marvels of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein to the great thinkers of Western and Asian philosophy.

Created to entertain, inform, and enrich, the new series offers endless variety to refresh the mind, presented in beautiful editions for the modern market. Each book features a new, accessible introduction written specifically for these editions, placing the book in context both as part of the new series and highlighting its unique contribution to human understanding; exploring the significance of each work, its impact at the time of publication, and its influence today.
