A NEW TRANSLATION by I. Bernard Cohen and Anne Whitman
assisted by Julia Budenz
In his monumental 1687 work Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, known familiarly as the Principia, Isaac Newton laid out in mathematical terms the principles of time, force, and motion that have guided the development of modern physical science. Even after more than three centuries and the revolutions of Einsteinian relativity and quantum mechanics, Newtonian physics continues to account for many of the phenomena of the observed world, and Newtonian celestial dynamics is used to determine the orbits of our space vehicles.This completely new translation, the first in 270 years, is based on the third (1726) edition, the final revised version approved by Newton; it includes extracts from the earlier editions, corrects errors found in earlier versions, and replaces archaic English with contemporary prose and up-to-date mathematical forms.Newton's principles describe acceleration, deceleration, and inertial movement; fluid dynamics; and the motions of the earth, moon, planets, and comets. A great work in itself, the Principia also revolutionized the methods of scientific investigation. It set forth the fundamental three laws of motion and the law of universal gravity, the physical principles that account for the Copernican system of the world as emended by Kepler, thus effectively ending controversy concerning the Copernican planetary system.The illuminating Guide to the Principia by I. Bernard Cohen, along with his and Anne Whitman's translation, will make this preeminent work truly accessible for today's scientists, scholars, and students.

如果大家留意获诺贝尔奖的人的介绍,以及那些在各自所专注领域作出突出成就的西方学者,就会发现他们很多人是信仰宗教的。比如爱因斯坦,罗素,等这一类从事科学以及哲学研究的大家。我觉得牛顿的神学倾向只能在另一方面显示出他在自己整个知识研究上的瓶颈:他达到那个时代的...
评分《自然哲学的数学原理》是第一次科学革命的集大成之作,它在物理学、数学、天文学和哲学等领域产生了巨大影响。 在写作方式上,牛顿遵循古希腊的公理化模式,从定义、定律(即公理)出发,导出命题;对具体的问题(如月球的运动),他把从理论导出的结果和观察结果相比较。由第...
评分这个版本的翻译极差,基本上语法都不通 插图倒是插了很多,不过跟书的内容没有关系 买吃亏了 只能当小花书看 希望大家买其他版本的,英语好的可以看英文原版。 ps:有一本newton's principle for common readers是把牛顿的《原理》用现代科学语言改写的。此书国内貌似没有翻译...
评分牛頓發表的三個版本都是用拉丁文寫的。 試比較第一條定義 拉丁文1713年第三版(Google Books): Quantitas Materiae est mensura ejusdem orta ex illius Densitate et Magnitudine conjunctim. 王譯: 物質的量是物質的度量,可由其密度和體積共同求出。 趙譯: 物質的量...
