Sir Isaac Newton's Personal Notes Go Digital
Cambridge Digital Library has posted a selection of Papers of Sir Isaac Newton. The Library is hosting the most significant collection of Sir Isaac Newton's scientific and mathematical notes including his 'college notebook' and 'Waste book'. Cambridge Digital Library also promises that these initial notes will be succeeded with most of Newton's notes they have in hand over the period of next few months. Sir Isaac Newton was a noted English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian, most popular for his theory of gravitation and the three laws of motion.

Sir Isaac Newton was a student at the Cambridge University from 1661 to 1665, and held the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics between 1669 to 1701. Under the duty of the chair, Newton was required to submit copies of his lectures in the University Library. These along with some correspondence relating to the University, were assigned the classmarks Dd.4.18, Dd.9.46, Dd.9.67, Dd.9.68, and Mm.6.50. After his death, these notes were inherited by his niece Catherine and her husband John Conduitt.
The digital collection includes Principia Mathematica, Latin for "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", which has Newton's personal notes on  Newton%27S Laws Of Motion,  Newton%27S Law Of Universal Gravitation and a derivation of  Kepler%27S Laws Of Planetary Motion. This was considered to be one of the greatest works in science by many. Papers on Hydrostatics, Optics, Sound and Heat are also available for reading. The 'Waste Book' carries young Newton's principles of calculus. All these notes are available online on Newton Papers.
