数学 / 庞加莱三卷科学哲学 / The Classic Mechanics

卷一 6 · 经典力学

Classical mechanics mixes empirical content with principles that also organize definition.

经典力学混合了经验内容和组织定义的原则。

A principle may look factual and still function as a framework.

一个原则可以看起来像事实,同时又作为框架工作。

The Classic Mechanics should be read as a question about how science stabilizes its objects.

卷一 6 · 经典力学 要读成一个问题:科学怎样让自己的对象稳定下来。

Why is Newton important here?

这里为什么要提牛顿?

Because mechanics inherits both Newtonian laws and the conventions that make them measurable.

因为力学继承的不只是牛顿定律,也包括使这些定律可测的约定。

与牛顿《原理》数学入口 newton-principia-mathematics/overview 对读。
