This is one of those books where you can get all the information contained therein from other sources. It is a difficult read in that it was written in the language of the 16th century. However, it is stunning. Follow the math which begins with geometry and evolves into calculus. Not as a learning progression but as a necessity. At times, Newton seems almost apologetic when establishing his scenarios and problems. Almost as if he knows you can't possibly understand his intent! This book, along with The Principia, ranks as one of the very first applications of the scientific method. With all due respect to Copernicus, Galileo and many others; Newton was THE intellectual giant of the Renaissance. We are all forever in his debt.
