This site, which is provided for by NASA, discusses the thinking which led Newton to understand universal gravitation.

This site from Fordham University is an exerpt from Newton's famous "Principia."

Through illustrated examples and interactive practice, students explore Newton's ability to relate the cause for heavenly motion (the orbit of the moon about the earth) to the cause for Earthly motion (the falling of an apple to the...

Short selections from W. W. Rouse Ball's "A Short Account of the History of Mathematics," most of which are biographies that focus on the mathematician's work. The text can be read online or downloaded by individual chapters in MP3 or...
