Isaak Newton / Wilhelm Jacob Gravesande - Physices Elementa Mathematica - 1725

Physices Elementa Mathematica, Experimentis Confirmata. Sive Introductio ad Philosophiam Newtonianam. Auctore Gulielmo Jacobo ‘s Gravesande... Tomus Primus.. Editore: Apud Petrum Vander Aa, Lugdunum Batavorum, 1725 Das erste Lehrbuch der Physik über die Newtons Physikalischen Gesetze (Prinzipien/Regeln). Unabhängig von seinem Interesse an Newton ist das Werk wichtig für die Illustration einer Reihe damals verwendeter physikalischer Apparate. 345 Seiten, 47 gefaltete Kupfertafeln. Insgesamt sehr gut erhalten, innen zumeist sauber. 26x21cm, komplett. Sir Isaac Newton [ˌaɪzək ’njuːtən] (* 25. Dezember 1642jul. / 4. Januar 1643greg. in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth in Lincolnshire; † 20. März 1726jul. / 31. März 1727greg. [1] in Kensington) war ein englischer Universalgelehrter. Er wirkte an der Universität Cambridge, war verantwortlich für die Royal Mint und Präsident der Royal Society. Aufgrund seiner Leistungen auf den Gebieten der Physik und Mathematik gilt Newton als einer der bedeutendsten Naturwissenschaftler. Newton ist der Verfasser der Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, in denen er mit seinem Gravitationsgesetz die universelle Gravitation beschrieb und die Bewegungsgesetze formulierte, womit er den Grundstein für die klassische Mechanik legte. Fast gleichzeitig mit Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz entwickelte Newton die Infinitesimalrechnung. Bekannt ist er auch für seine Leistungen auf dem Gebiet der Optik: die von ihm verfochtene Teilchentheorie des Lichtes und die Erklärung des Lichtspektrums. Wie erst später öffentlich bekannt wurde, beschäftigte er sich ebenfalls mit theologischen, historischen und alchemistischen Untersuchungen.

Sir Isaac Newton ([ˌaɪzək ’njuːtən]; December 25, 1642 – January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth in Lincolnshire; March 20, 1726 – March 31, 1727 in Kensington) was an English polymath. He worked at the University of Cambridge, was responsible for the Royal Mint, and was President of the Royal Society. Due to his achievements in the fields of physics and mathematics, Newton is considered one of the most important natural scientists.

Newton is the author of the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, in which he described universal gravitation with his law of gravitation and formulated the laws of motion, thus laying the foundation for classical mechanics. Almost simultaneously with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Newton developed infinitesimal calculus. He is also known for his achievements in the field of optics: his advocacy of the particle theory of light and his explanation of the light spectrum.

As only later became public knowledge, he also engaged in theological, historical and alchemical research.
