1716 Phoronomia 1^st by Hermann | Isaac NEWTON Law of Motion Illustrated PHYSICS

Jakob Hermann’s “Phoronomia” is a fascinating, 18^th-century survey of early mechanics. First published in 1716, this work was a comprehensive study on the forces and motions of solids and fluids, laws of physics, as the first book to demonstrate that the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector remains a constant of motion. It also includes details on Newton’s second law of motion!

This first edition includes 12 folding engravings featuring dozens of geometric figures.
