Newton's mathematical foundations for universal physics

"Principia" is a cornerstone in scientific literature and is an excellent read if you're intrigued by the laws that govern our universe. By synthesizing celestial observations and mathematical proofs, Newton literally wrote the book on classical mechanics. Your understanding of gravity, motion, and force will never be the same after delving into this monumental work.

Description

I consider philosophy rather than arts and write not concerning manual but natural powers, and consider chiefly those things which relate to gravity, levity, elastic force, the resistance of fluids, and the like forces, whether attractive or impulsive; and therefore I offer this work as the mathematical principles of philosophy. In the third book I give an example of this in the explication of the System of the World. I derive from celestial phenomena the forces of gravity with which bodies tend to the sun and other planets.
