This is one of those books where you can get all the information contained therein from other sources. It is a difficult read in that it was written in the language of the 16th century. However, it is stunning. Follow the math which begins with geometry and evolves into calculus. Not as a learning progression but as a necessity. At times, Newton seems almost apologetic when establishing his scenarios and problems. Almost as if he knows you can't possibly understand his intent! This book, along with The Principia, ranks as one of the very first applications of the scientific method. With all due respect to Copernicus, Galileo and many others; Newton was THE intellectual giant of the Renaissance. We are all forever in his debt.
I wanted to get an idea of why Newton discovered/created the calculus framework. I was more interested in the problems he was trying to solve than the explicit descriptions of the math problems. The dated English is hard to decipher at times but its worth reading through at least once. Its a bit dry and a bit slow but it does something most present math books don't do; this book explains why.
I got this for my kindle, it is an awesome book. it is amazing the knowledge of mathematics Newton had. for the price it's gets five stars. the content five stars as well. if your liking for this book then you probably have some idea of how deep it is in terms of mathematical understanding. either way great book.
Other than a brief encyclopedia-style introduction, not much has been done to make this book accessible to a layman or non-mathematician. It is translated to English from Latin, but otherwise lacks liner notes to explain the text. It was written for the Royal Society of England and for suitably trained mathematicians and scientists in Europe, not for the casual reader, which I pretty much am. I don't recommend it for the beach.
This is a wonderful book. I had barely began reading and already discovered Newton was laying down the basic principles of velocities required for orbital speed as well as escape from the earth's gravitational pull.
No sense in actually reviewing the content of this text as it is undoubtedly one of the most important ever, but this particular printed version is very nice.
It is a great science book. An well worth the price for the kindle. It is a steel for the price of 2 dollars. An explain everything very well. Classical book worth the time and money to read.
A lot of classic understanding at a meager price, indeed. How could you rate Isaac Newton less than 5 stars. Add this toyour library.
