The 24 pages that link to Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, each with the reason it gives.

• Isaac NewtonBroader topic: The Principia set out the central mathematical case for Newtonian mechanics.

• Newton's laws of motionBroader topic: It introduced the laws as part of a mathematical account of physical motion.

• Scientific RevolutionBroader topic: It united celestial and terrestrial motion in a mathematical framework.

• Classical mechanicsBroader topic: The Principia set out the mathematical structure of Newtonian mechanics.

• Newton's law of universal gravitationBroader topic: The law's original mathematical exposition appeared in this book.

• Newton's second lawBroader topic: It contains the original statement of the second law.

• Newtonian gravityBroader topic: The Principia set out the theory and demonstrated its reach across celestial mechanics.

• HeliocentrismBroader topic: It unified terrestrial mechanics and planetary motion under a single account.

• Gravitational constantBroader topic: It established the gravitational law whose proportionality is now written using G.

• Newton's third lawBroader topic: Its axioms and corollaries established the law's original formulation.

• Action at a distanceBroader topic: The Principia established the influential inverse-square account of gravitational attraction.

• Newton's first lawBroader topic: Newton presented the first law in this foundational work.

• Absolute space and timeBroader topic: Its opening definitions distinguish absolute space and time from their measured counterparts.

• Kepler's second lawBroader topic: Newton showed how Kepler's empirical laws follow from gravitational dynamics.

• 17th centuryBroader topic: It exemplifies the century’s growing use of mathematics to explain nature.

• History of classical mechanicsBroader topic: It is the landmark synthesis in which Newtonian mechanics first appeared as a unified system.

• Newton's theorem of revolving orbitsBroader topic: The theorem appears in Newton's systematic treatment of orbital dynamics.
