Book Description:
|
Newton was arguably the greatest scientific genius of all time, and yet he remains a mysterious figure - a secret heretic, a mystic and an alchemist. Introducing Newton explains the extraordinary ideas of a man who sifted through the knowledge of centuries and tossed out mistaken beliefs, single-handedly making enormous advances in mathematics, mechanics and optics. Einstein's theories are unthinkable without Newton's founding system - this book helps to explain why.
