“这部凝聚了一位杰出物理学家十年心血的著作，是首部不依赖二手文献对牛顿《Principia》进行全面分析的专著。钱德拉塞卡（Chandrasekhar）教授分析了约 150 个命题，这些命题构成了引向牛顿万有引力定律构想的直接链条。在每个案例中，牛顿的证明都被整理成线性的方程式与论证序列，读者无需再去费力梳理牛顿连贯散文中那些必然复杂的行文风格。在几乎每一个案例中，作者都给出了现代形式的证明，从而清晰突出其优美、明晰……

……给学生讲解核心思想。那么 HN 上的各位有什么属于这个类别的书推荐吗？我藏书里的几个例子：1) David Eugene Smith 的《A Source Book in Mathematics》；2) S. Chandrasekhar 的《Newton's Principia for the Common Reader》；3) Charles Petzold 的《The Annotated Turing: A Guided Tour Through Alan Turing's Historic Paper On Computability And The Turing Machine》；4) 《Maxwell on the Electromagnetic Field:……
…explain the main ideas to the Student. So what Books can HN folks recommend that fall into this category? A few examples from my collection; 1) A Source Book in Mathematics by David Eugene Smith. 2) Newton's Principia for the Common Reader by S. Chandrasekhar. 3) The Annotated Turing: A Guided Tour Through Alan Turing's Historic Paper On Computability And The Turing Machine by Charles Petzold. 4) Maxwell on the Electromagnetic Field:…
对研究《Principia》（自然哲学的数学原理）感兴趣的人可能会觉得这本书有用：诺奖得主、天体物理学家 S. Chandrashekhar 写的《Newton's Principia for the Common Reader》
People interested in studying the Principia might find the following useful: Newton's Principia for the Common Reader by S. Chandrashekhar (nobel prize winning astrophysicist)
……：Nicholas Nassim Taleb 的《The Black Swan》、Leonard Mlodinow 的《The Drunkards Walk》。数学/科学史：Leonard Mlodinow 的《Euclid's Window》、Bill Bryson 的《A Short History of Nearly Everything》。物理：S. Chandrasekhar 的《Newton's Principia for the Common Reader》。文学：Fyodor Dostoevsky 的《The Brothers Karamazov》、Mark Z. Danielewski 的《House of Leaves》、John Steinbeck 的《East of Eden》。哲学：Shunryu Suzuki 的《Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind》。任何……

……解释，这样我也能从中学习。有几本挺有意思的：1) David Eugene Smith 的《A Source Book in Mathematics》（Dover 出版社）- https://archive.org/details/sourcebookinmath00smit 2) 诺奖得主物理学家 S. Chandrasekhar 的《Newton's Principia for the Common Reader》- https://archive.org/details/newtonsprincipia0000chan 3) Thomas……的《Maxwell on the Electromagnetic Field: A Guided Study》（Masterworks of Discovery 系列）
…explanations so that i can learn from them. Some interesting ones are; 1) A Source Book in Mathematics by David Eugene Smith (Dover Publications) - https://archive.org/details/sourcebookinmath00smit 2) Newton's Principia for the Common Reader by Nobel-prize winning Physicist S.Chandrasekhar - https://archive.org/details/newtonsprincipia0000chan 3) Maxwell on the Electromagnetic Field: A Guided Study (Masterworks of Discovery series) by Thomas…
……带你通读原始论文/专著。如果你缺乏必要的背景知识，理解起来依然很难，但起码你有了个不错的切入点。我书架上的几本：1) S. Chandrasekhar 的《Newton's Principia for the Common Reader》 2) Thomas Simpson 的《Maxwell on the Electromagnetic Field: A Guided Study》（Masterworks of Discovery 系列） 3) John Stachel 的《Einstein's Miraculous Year》 4) Charles……的《The Annotated Turing》
…guides you through the original paper/book. It is still difficult to understand if you do not have the necessary background but at least you have a good starting point. Some books in my collection; 1) Newton's Principia for the Common Reader by S.Chandrasekhar 2) Maxwell on the Electromagnetic Field: A Guided Study (Masterworks of Discovery) by Thomas Simpson 3) Einstein's Miraculous Year by John Stachel. 4) The Annotated Turing by Charles…
……去读/研究它。抛开晦涩古旧的语言和记号不谈，真正的概念性数学/科学本身就极其硬核。举个好例子：诺奖得主物理学家 S. Chandrasekhar 写了《Newton's Principia for the Common Reader》，在书里用现代符号和语言解释了《原理》的一部分（只涉及引力部分）。连他自己都觉得极难，所以书名里的“普通读者”（common reader）指的其实是……
…reading/studying it. Actual conceptual mathematics/science is intrinsically hard even ignoring the archaic language/notations. As a good example; the Nobel-prize winning physicist S.Chandrasekhar wrote Newton's Principia for the Common Reader where he explains a subset of the principia (only dealing with gravitation) using modern notation and language. He himself found it quite hard and thus the "common reader" in the title is somebody who…
