Sir Isaac Newton's Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles)
is considered to be among the finest scientific works ever
published. His grand unifying idea of gravitation, with effects
extending throughout the solar system, explains by one principle
such diverse phenomena as the tides, the precession of the
equinoxes, and the irregularities of the moon's motion. Newton's
brilliant and revolutionary contributions to science explained the
workings of a large part of inanimate nature mathematically and
suggested that the remainder might be understood in a similar
fashion. By taking known facts, forming a theory that explained
them in mathematical terms, deducing consequences from the theory,
and comparing the results with observed and experimental facts,
Newton united, for the first time, the explication of physical
phenomena with the means of prediction. By beginning with the
physical axioms of the laws of motion and gravitation, he converted
physics from a mere science of explanation into a general
mathematical system.
