Mathematics is, in many ways, the most generic and abstract of all
systems of human thought. Once Newton found he could describe
dynamics and planetary motions using purely mathematical laws and
deductive processes, he understood that there was no limit to what
else could be explained - given time and ingenuity every aspect of
Nature would find its mathematical roots. Newton himself repeatedly
stated how aspects of chemistry, biology and even human thought
could be accessed by his method. He also acknowledged how immense
the task would be, involving many contributors over many centuries,
however once the system was in place, it could be extended
indefinitely. Although not fully understood during his lifetime,
the Newtonian method has since been applied to many subjects
outside of physics, including chemistry, physiology and philosophy.
This book analyses the Newtonian method and demonstrates how it
represents the very roots of our understanding of the great world
system we live in today.This unique book is published as the second
of a three-part set for Newtonian scholars, historians of science,
philosophers of science and others interested in Newtonian
physics.All Titles: 1.Newton and Modern Physics 2.Newton and the
Great World System 3.Newton - Innovation and Controversy
