The Key to Newton's Dynamics clearly explains the surprisingly simple analytical structure that underlies the determination of the force necessary to maintain ideal planetary motion. J. Bruce Brackenridge sets the problem in historical and conceptual perspective, showing the physicist's debt to the works of both Descartes and Galileo. He tracks Newton's work on the Kepler problem from its early stages at Cambridge before 1669, through the revival of his interest ten years later, to its fruition in the first three sections of the first edition of the Principia.Kepler's lawsCelestial mechanics1600s.academic.analysis.biographical.cambridge.centrifugal force.conservation of motion.cultural context.curvature.descartes.famous person.famous scientist.galileo.historical.history buff.kepler problem.laws of motion.mathematics.newton.newtons dynamics.outer space.physics.planetary motion.planets.principia.scholarly.scientific.scientist.true story.Kepler's laws.Celestial mechanics.521/.3531.092Brackenridge J.
