Title: The Principia (Great Minds) by Isaac Newton, Andrew Motte ISBN: 0-87975-980-1 Publisher: Prometheus Books Pub. Date: June, 1995 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.00 |

Summary: This is a key masterpiece in the history of Science.
Comment: I bought this book not for the purpose of learning Classical Mechanics from it, but for the scientific curiosity of learning how the great Isaac Newton presented his revolutionary scientific ideas to the world. Of course, it is difficult to read. This is an old translation of a book written in Latin more than 300 years ago!
This book is a jewel. Just like the original works of Einstein, Maxwell, Heisenberg, Schroedinger and all those giants. The person buying this book should not expect to find a clear didactic textbook when originally it was not written for the layman, but for the expert scientific community of its time. Buy this book, sit back, scan through it, and enjoy a true piece of history.
