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号是牛顿的忌日,但是知道的人很少,我们毕竟更关心沈殿霞和张国荣。 其实牛顿老师在科学圈里曾经很有权势,被女王封了爵位成了贵族,人称牛爵爷,官至 皇家造币局局长兼皇家学会会长。如果阿尔伯特没有辞了以色列总统的话和他有一拼。 说他有权势并不仅是官大,主要是贡...
评分这个还不不算书评,我们学习了将近十几年的数学,小学、初中、大学、研究生一直都在学习,可是我们到底有没有在某个时候考虑过,这些东西到底是从哪里来的,就和思考人生一样,我们从哪里来到那里去,什么是生活。 应试教育不错,可是如果能加上一些哲学原理可能会更好吧,哎,...
评分个人觉得,这一版不论翻译的水平如何,甚至是牛顿本人对他定律的解释和推导过程如何,都是次要,关键在于其中的哲学思想。 我们都说自己多少了解牛顿的伟大,至少都学过牛顿力学三大定律;但是真正读过《自然哲学的数学原理》的人很少。这本书初版于1687年,并在之后的短短20年...
评分如果大家留意获诺贝尔奖的人的介绍,以及那些在各自所专注领域作出突出成就的西方学者,就会发现他们很多人是信仰宗教的。比如爱因斯坦,罗素,等这一类从事科学以及哲学研究的大家。我觉得牛顿的神学倾向只能在另一方面显示出他在自己整个知识研究上的瓶颈:他达到那个时代的...
评分这个版本的翻译极差,基本上语法都不通 插图倒是插了很多,不过跟书的内容没有关系 买吃亏了 只能当小花书看 希望大家买其他版本的,英语好的可以看英文原版。 ps:有一本newton's principle for common readers是把牛顿的《原理》用现代科学语言改写的。此书国内貌似没有翻译...
