«El sistema del mundo» is Isaac Newton's essay on celestial mechanics, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (135 pages, in Spanish).
Newton here sets out the foundations of celestial physics: the laws of motion and universal gravitation serve to explain the movement of the planets and other bodies in the solar system. The text, translated from 'De mundi systemate', offers a vision of the universe as a system governed by mechanical principles.
This edition belongs to the 'El Libro de Bolsillo' collection (no. 980, Classics Section), with translation, introduction and notes by Eloy Rada García from 'De mundi systemate'.
For readers interested in the history of science, classical physics and the thought of Isaac Newton.
Sir Isaac Newton was an English polymath who was a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, author and inventor. He was a key figure in the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment that followed. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, first published in 1687, achieved the first great unification in physics and established classical mechanics. Newton also made seminal contributions to optics, and shares credit with the German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for formulating infinitesimal calculus, although he developed calculus years before Leibniz. Newton contributed to and refined the scientific method, and his work is considered the most influential in bringing forth modern science.
