The Life of Sir Isaac NewtonGood Press, 2021 M05 19 - 261 páginas David Brewster brings the reader into Newton's life and provides remarkably detailed explanations of the concepts that changed the world's perception of bodies, rest, and motion forever. Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, and author. He was widely acknowledged as one of the most eminent mathematicians and physicists of all time, and he was among the most influential scientists. He was a crucial figure in the philosophical revolution known as the Enlightenment. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, first published in 1687, paved the way for classical mechanics. Newton also made formative contributions to optics. In this well-written biography, the author explains all the events of the life of Newton, including his birth and parentage, his life at Trinity College, his major experiments, his failures and successes, other minor discoveries, and finally, his death. The attachment of Newton to mechanical pursuits is described beautifully in this work. It's a must-read for all science enthusiasts. |
