Newton's Principia is perhaps the second most famous work of
mathematics, after Euclid's Elements. Originally published in 1687,
it gave the first systematic account of the fundamental concepts of
dynamics, as well as three beautiful derivations of Newton's law of
gravitation from Kepler's laws of planetary motion. As a book of
great insight and ingenuity, it has raised our understanding of the
power of mathematics more than any other work. This heavily
annotated translation of the third and final edition (1726) of the
Principia will enable any reader with a good understanding of
elementary mathematics to easily grasp the meaning of the text,
either from the translation itself or from the notes, and to
appreciate some of its significance. All forward references are
given to illuminate the structure and unity of the whole, and to
clarify the parts. The mathematical prerequisites for understanding
Newton's arguments are given in a brief appendix.
