Professor Chandrasekhar simplifies Sir Isaac Newton’s monumental work and brings about great many aspects not obvious to most readers. It is the most famous scientific book ever written and the most difficult one also. Just fabulous! He was so greatly inspired to write on it, by the greatest human genius who ever lived! Kaiser T. Review: A work of Genius - To appreciate this book, or even to understand it, you need to have graduate level physics. If you can meet this requirement you are in for a treat. Newton wrote his masterwork in Latin and used geometrical mathematics instead of calculus to derive his proofs, so this book owes its existence to some expert translators from Latin to English and then from Newtons obscure mathematics to modern methods. Prof Chandreshekar has done an outstanding job of presenting each part of Newtons work using modern calculus and then showing Newton s original and explaining how he derived his proofs. Using this approach he helps the reader to really see that Newton was a towering genius. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #948,134 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #777 in Physics (Books) #7,165 in Mathematics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (35) | | Dimensions | 10.19 x 1.08 x 8.25 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0198517440 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0198517443 | | Item Weight | 3.65 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 616 pages | | Publication date | July 27, 1995 | | Publisher | Clarendon Press | ## Images ![Newton's Principia for the Common Reader (Physics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hh7OZSM7L.jpg) ![Newton's Principia for the Common Reader (Physics) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Y8sS7JnUL.jpg) ![Newton's Principia for the Common Reader (Physics) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816i33ynvSL.jpg) ![Newton's Principia for the Common Reader (Physics) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TKO5fM67L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just Fabulous! *by K***R on August 29, 2025* Brilliantly Written!

If you can meet this requirement you are in for a treat. Newton wrote his masterwork in Latin and used geometrical mathematics instead of calculus to derive his proofs, so this book owes its existence to some expert translators from Latin to English and then from Newtons obscure mathematics to modern methods.

Using this approach he helps the reader to really see that Newton was a towering genius. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost perfect condition *by L***S on December 25, 2020* Even though the stated condition of the book was mostly correct, there was 1 marginal comment added in pen by the previous owner on page 41 where Newton's 1st and 2nd laws are mentioned. But this did not distract from the beautiful condition that this book was kept in. I am still completely satisfied with this purchase. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/4762333-newtons-principia-for-the-common-reader-physics](https://www.desertcart.be/products/4762333-newtons-principia-for-the-common-reader-physics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
