"Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica," commonly referred to as the "Principia," is a seminal work in the field of physics and mathematics written by Sir Isaac Newton. First published in 1687, the Principia lays the groundwork for classical mechanics and describes Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation. In the book, Newton presents a comprehensive framework for understanding the motion of celestial bodies and the forces that act upon them, using mathematical formulations.
