Unique among celebrated scientists, Newton was equally gifted at
theoretical physics, experimental physics and pure mathematics. He
was also exceptional in another, less well-recognised sense. No one
has come near to equalling his extraordinary analytical
power.Analytically-derived truths are controversial because such
truths can only be established by extended experimental
verification or by their success in generating further truths by
systematic development. While Newton's optics was ultimately
established by the first method and his theory of gravity by the
second, much of his work on other subjects, though equally powerful
and innovative, has never been totally established as part of this
analytical context. This book discusses why the innovations matter
today and why they were, and sometimes still are,
controversial.Published as the third 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 -
