PDF-[EBOOK]-Never at Rest: A Biography of Isaac Newton (Cambridge Paperback Library)

This richly detailed 1981 biography captures both the personal life and the scientific career of Isaac Newton presenting a fully rounded picture of Newton the man the scientist the philosopher the theologian and the public figure Professor Westfall treats all aspects of Newtons career but his account centres on a full description of Newtons achievements in science Thus the core of the work describes the development of the calculus the experimentation that altered the direction of the science of optics and especially the investigations in celestial dynamics that led to the law of universal gravitation. Sir Isaac Newton died on 20 March 1727 and within 2 months James Thomson had prepared his “Poem sacred to the Memory of Sir Isaac Newton”, an unrestrained celebration of “Britain’s Laws of Motion.

Indian mathematicians excelled for thousands of years, and eventually even developed advanced techniques but they are denied credit because of Western ascendancy. Among the Hindu mathematicians, Aryabhatta may be most famous. During Europe’s “Dark Ages”, Aryabhatta advanced arithmetic, algebra, elementary analysis, and especially trigonometry, using the decimal system. Aryabhatta is occasionally known as "Father of Algebra“. His most famous accomplishment in mathematics was the Aryabhatta Algorithm for solving Diophantine equations. Aryabhatta made several important discoveries in astronomy. He was among the ancient scholars who realized the Earth rotated daily on an axis. . An Invisible Force. Gravity.

This richly detailed 1981 biography captures both the personal life and the scientific career of Isaac Newton, presenting a fully rounded picture of Newton the man, the scientist, the philosopher, the theologian, and the public figure. Professor Westfall treats all aspects of Newton\'s career, but his account centres on a full description of Newton\'s achievements in science. Thus the core of the work describes the development of the calculus, the experimentation that altered the direction of the science of optics, and especially the investigations in celestial dynamics that led to the law of universal gravitation. Sir Isaac Newton left at his death a large collection of papers on alchemy, mostly in his own handwriting the importance of this legacy has been debated ever since. When it first appeared, Professor Dobb\'s detailed analysis of the foundations of Newton\'s alchemical pursuits further stimulated interest in the subject by firmly establishing the importance of alchemy in Newton\'s thought. This book sets the foundations of Newton\'s alchemy in their historical context in Restoration England. It is shown that alchemical modes of thought and particularly those of a Neoplatonic kind, were quite strong in many of those who provided the dynamism for the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century and that these modes of thought had important relationships with general movements for reform in the same period: reform of religion, philosophy, learning, society and of man himself. Newton\'s alchemy is thus seen as a critical link between Renaissance Hermeticism and the rational chemistry and mechanics of the eighteenth century. Isaac Newton was born in a stone farmhouse in 1642, fatherless and unwanted by his mother. When he died in London in 1727 he was so renowned he was given a state funeral—an unheard-of honor for a subject whose achievements were in the realm of the intellect. During the years he was an irascible presence at Trinity College, Cambridge, Newton imagined properties of nature and gave them names—mass, gravity, velocity—things our science now takes for granted. Inspired by Aristotle, spurred on by Galileo’s discoveries and the philosophy of Descartes, Newton grasped the intangible and dared to take its measure, a leap of the mind unparalleled in his generation.James Gleick, the author of Chaos and Genius, and one of the most acclaimed science writers of his generation, brings the reader into Newton’s reclusive life and provides startlingly clear explanations of the concepts that changed forever our perception of bodies, rest, and motion. Ideas so basic to the twenty-first century we literally take them for granted.

Ideas so basic to the twenty-first century we literally take them for granted. Isaac Newton is indisputably one of the greatest scientists who ever lived. His achievements in mathematics and physics marked the culmination of the movement that brought modern science into being. In The Life of Isaac Newton, biographer extraordinaire Westfall lucidly and engagingly captures both the personal life and scientific career of Isaac Newton, presenting a fully rounded picture of Newton the man, the scientist, the philosopher, the theologian, and the public figure. This book is an abridged version of Professor Westfall\'s highly acclaimed and well known Never at Rest: A Biography of Isaac Newton. By eschewing technical details, the author makes this book accessible to a wide range of general readers interested in history of science and biography. Westfall is also the author of The Construction of Modern Science.
