- W2479165071 abstract "At the beginning of what we now call the scientific revolution, Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543) displayed on the title page of De revolutionibus (1543) Plato's ban against the mathematically incompetent: ‘Let no one enter who is ignorant of geometry’. He repeated the notice in the preface, cautioning that ‘mathematics is written for mathematicians’. Although Isaac Newton posted no such warning at the front of the Principia a century and a half later, he did insist repeatedly that the first two books of the work treated motion in purely mathematical terms, without physical, metaphysical, or ontological commitment. Only in the third book did he expressly draw the links between the mathematical and physical realms. There he posited a universal force of gravity for which he could offer no physical explanation but which, as a mathematical construct, was the linchpin of his system of the world. ‘It is enough’, he insisted in the General Scholium added in 1710, ‘that [gravity] in fact exists.’ No less than the De revolutionibus, the Principia was written by a mathematician for mathematicians." @default.
