Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica

Newton’s Principia laid the foundation for classical mechanics, uniting terrestrial and celestial motion under universal laws. His laws of motion and gravitation reshaped humanity’s understanding of the physical universe. The work introduced a systematic, mathematical description of nature that influenced all of science. It cemented Newton as one of the greatest scientific minds in history. Its precision, scope, and rigor made it a landmark in rational inquiry and empirical truth.
