"This volume...is largely devoted to the perception of Newton's ideas in the Dutch Republic, as well as the fashioning of the man himself, from the publication of his magnum opus Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica in 1687, until the end of the eighteenth century."--Int…

fromBradford Book
These original essays explore the philosophical implications of Newton's work. They address a wide range of topics including Newton's influence on his contemporaries and successors such as Locke and Kant, and his views on the methodology of science, on absolute space and time, a…
"This book tries to assess Galileo's work in its historical singularity. It is constructed around a precise question: How did Galileo create the modern science of motion? Starting from this question, I shall go on to determine as accurately as I can what concepts and methods hel…

Many different mathematical methods and concepts are used in classical mechanics: differential equations and phase ftows, smooth mappings and manifolds, Lie groups and Lie algebras, symplectic geometry and ergodic theory. Many modern mathematical theories arose from problems in …
"This book provides a rapid overview of the basic methods and concepts in mechanics for beginning Ph. D. students and advanced undergraduates in applied mathematics or related fields. It is based on a graduate course given in 2006-07 at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Scie…
