The 'Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica', or "The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", is a foundational text in physics. It revolutionized science by explaining the laws of motion and universal gravitation. It contains the first publication of calculus, which is incredibly important in dozens of scientific fields, such as statistics, engineering and physics. It exemplified Enlightenment ideals of using reason and empirical evidence to understand the world. Newtons theories not only advanced physics but symbolized humanity’s capacity for scientific inquiry during the Enlightenment, marking a turning point in the progress of science.
