In particular, the original text that Newton published.
I hope this is the correct sub, please move/delete if not.
I'm fascinated with physics (particularly Newtonian) and currently studying undergraduate mechanical engineering. I've read a lot about Newton and think it's awesome that his laws of motion lay the foundation of classical mechanics.
I was hoping some who is familiar with his personal copy of PhilosophiƦ Naturalis Principia Mathematica could point me to his conclusion of his three laws of motion.
This sounds really tacky but I was thinking it'd be so cool to tattoo, in Newton's own writing, the laws of motion.
I know the University of Cambridge has some of his papers available: http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/newton so I was hoping someone would be able to tell me where his concluded with those laws.
Many thanks!
Before you do this, I strongly recommend that you (at least) post on a science/physics-themed subreddit (where this kind of post is allowed, so probably not /r/askscience) and get some answers from a few folks more enthusiastic about Newton.
This, I think, is about as close as you'll get to Newton's laws written in his writing. Pages 157 to 162 are his personal notes on the laws of motion, but they're not laid out as nicely as they would eventually be published in Principia. They also have his annotated first edition of Principia available (here's the Laws of Motion section) in case that's more of what you're interested in. It might be hard to just tattoo a bunch of printed Latin on yourself, but it might be kind of neat if you learned what those illustrations meant and got those as tattoos instead (since they appear to have all been drawn by Newton himself).
