What is The concepts of science from Newton to Einstein / about?
PREFACE which are simple statements about how a force acting on a body determines its dynamical history and how the force of gravity depends on the masses of two gravitationally interacting bodies and on the distance between them. We point out that these two statements alone permit us to predict the orbits of the planets around the sun, and, in fact, the motions in gravitational fields of any bodies such as manmade space probes.By introducing such concepts as momentum, energy, and angular momentum (rotational motion), Newtonian physics can be cast into a form which is most easily understood in terms of the three basic conservation principles: conservation of momentum, conservation of energy, and conservation of angular momentum. But these principles extend far beyond Newtonian physics to pervade all of science and govern all aspects of the universe.By developing the concepts of the electric and magnetic charges and their interactions, we give the reader an insight into electromagnetic phenomena and, in particular, into the properties of the electromagnetic field as revealed by the experimental work of Michael Faraday and the brilliant theoretical work of James Clerk Maxwell.
