''This page is about Newtonian mechanics specifically. For information about Classical Mechanics , see its page'' Newtonian mechanics is the original version of the physical discipline of Mechanics , due to Sir Isaac Newton , who developed the theory over a period from about 1664, until the publication of his great work, known as the ''Principia'' , in 1687. While Newton chose to present the work in classical geometric form, for acceptance, much of the foregoing development of the theory was actually based on his invention of the Calculus of Infinitesimals , as a new discipline of Mathematics . It was eventually in this form, which laid the foundation of so much of today's science and mathematics, along with the Differential Calculus of G.W. Von Leibniz , that Newtonian mechanics evolved into the theory of Classical Mechanics . This development, over two centuries, was due to a great many scientists, including L. Euler , J.L. Lagrange , P.S. De Laplace , W.R. Hamilton , C.G. Jacobi , and countless others. Newtonian Kinematics Isaac Newton 's mathematical studies led him to the development of the Newtonian Kinematics, which involve the movement of objects due to its moved distance, initial and final velocities, acceleration, and elapsed time. The equations regarding the movement of objects follow three simple equations. References
