Bøger af Sir Isaac Newton

Newton's new conception of the laws of the universe challenged centuries of received opinion, and laid a new foundation for our - common sense - understanding of the physical world. This book guides you through the essentials of Newton's argument in his own words, using only elementary mathematics.

First published in 1962, this volume collects together some of Newton's most important scientific papers. Chosen primarily to illustrate Newton's ideas on the nature of matter, the papers afford valuable insights into Newton's development as a scientist and his ideas of the world that science explores.
