Synopsis

Philosophić Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Latin: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), generally called "The Principia", is a work in three books by Isaac Newton. Initially published 5 July 1687. The Principia states Newton's laws of motion, forming the foundation of classical mechanics; Newton's law of universal gravitation; and a derivation of Kepler's laws of planetary motion (which Kepler first obtained empirically). The Principia is generally regarded as one of the most important works in the history of science.
