Bibliography


Primary Sources

Benton, William. Great Books of the Western World - Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. Chicago: William Benton, 1952. Very in-depth view of what Sir Isaac Newton's Studies were about. His exact works from his publishings are in here, and some excerpts were taken out of here. Only read a few parts, but got the most important key points.

Christianson, Gale E. Isaac Newton and the scientific revolution. New York: Oxford UP, 1996. Discussed Isaac Newton's Life, Discoveries, and Achievements. We got alot of information about Sir Isaac Newton, especially of his life. Alot of pictures were obtained from this book also.

Stwertka, Albert. Physics from Newton to the big bang. New York: F. Watts, 1986. Most of the Physics and Gravity aspects of Newton's studies were found in here. Some images were also obtained.
