Newton published the "Philosophić Naturalis Principia Mathematica" in 1687. In it, he sets out the basic principles of physics that are required to understand the motion of the planets, their moons, and the comets in the solar system. It includes the gravitational (inverse square) law, the inertial principle, and the basic elements of mechanics. Since its publication, a large number of refinements and reformulations have been introduced, thereby adding enormous insight into the structure of mechanics, which is commonly known as ?classical mechanics?. All these have in common that by taking a suitable limit, Newton's original principles re-appear. Thus, physicists and mathematicians who work on the subject always have a notion that if their theories do not return to Newton's foundations, then there is something wrong. Newton himself acknowledged that 'if I have seen further (than others), it is by standing on the shoulders of giants'. One of these giants was undoubtedly Galileo who died in the year Newton was born. So, Newton himself adhered to the 'classical limit'. 410 0$aUndergraduate Texts in Physics,$x2510-4128 606 $aGravitation 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aSpecial relativity (Physics) 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravity 606 $aQuantum Physics 606 $aSpecial Relativity 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aSpecial relativity (Physics) 615 14$aClassical and Quantum Gravity. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aSpecial Relativity. 676 $a531 700 $aKoenders$b M.
