A View of Sir Isaac Newton's Philosophy

"A View of Sir Isaac Newton's Philosophy" by Henry Pemberton is an introduction to the scientific theories of Sir Isaac Newton, written in the 1700s. Pemberton seeks to explain Newton's complex ideas in a way that's easier to understand, opening with a preface explaining why he wrote the book, spurred by friends and a new edition of Newton's "Principia." Pemberton greatly admires Newton's work, recognizing how it has broadened our knowledge of the natural world, further sharing personal stories from when he knew Newton, and hoping to make these ideas available to others and encourage new mathematicians.
