Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727) was one of the greatest scientists of all time, a thinker of extraordinary range and creativity who has left enduring legacies in mathematics and physics. While most famous for his Principia, his work on light and colour, and his discovery of the calculus, Newton devoted much more time to research in chemistry and alchemy, and to studying prophecy, church history and ancient chronology. This new edition of The Cambridge Companion to Newton provides authoritative introductions to these further dimensions of his endeavours as well as to many aspects of his physics. It includes a revised bibliography, a new introduction and six new chapters: three updating previous chapters on Newton's mathematics, his chemistry and alchemy and the reception of his religious views; and three entirely new, on his religion, his ancient chronology and the treatment of continuous and discontinuous forces in his second law of motion.

Newton: A Very Short Introduction
January 2007
|
Book
...introduces Newton's scientific studies in fields ranging from physics, astronomy, and mathematics, to alchemy. It also examines his controversial theological beliefs and his politics, and explores the forces that shaped his life. Although Newton's science was largely revered — his reputation reached near-immortal status with the publication of the Principia — theologically, his beliefs were very controversial. Newton's views on alchemy, mathematics, physics, and religion are shown to be the very different obsessions of an extremely complex man whose beliefs at the time dominated England's political, religious, and intellectual landscape.
