The outcome was the famous "Principia Mathematica", first published in 1687, in which Newton presented solutions to most of the problems of motion that had concerned earlier scientists. This was the high point of his professional life, though he continuously revised and improved the work until his death in 1727. The papers Newton left behind testify to the incredible powers of concentration of the genius who opened the door to the age of technology.

牛顿的研究成果在1687年首次出版的《自然哲学的数学原理》一书中发表。在这本书里牛顿对以前科学家所关心的大部分力学难题做出了解答。虽然他在1727年去世前仍持续地修正、改进他在这方面的研究著作，可这段时期仍是他事业的巅峰时期。牛顿留下的研究论述证明了这位开启科技时代大门的天才拥有惊人的专注力。
