Book 1
THE MOTION OF BODIES
Of the method of first and last ratios of quantities, by the help whereof we demonstrate the propositions that follow Of the invention of centripetal forces Of the motion of bodies in eccentric Conic sections Of the finding of elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic orbits, from the focus given How the orbits are to be found when neither focus is given How the motions are to be found in given orbits Concerning the rectilinear ascent and descent of bodies Of the invention of orbits wherein bodies will revolve, being acted upon by any sort of centripetal force Of the motion of bodies in movable orbits; and of the motion of the apsides Of the motion of bodies in given superficies; and of the reciprocal motion of funependulous bodies Of the motions of bodies tending to each other with centripetal forces Of the attractive forces of sphaerical bodies Of the attractive forces of bodies which are not of a sphaerical figure Of the motion of very small bodies when agitated by centripetal forces tending to the several parts of any very great body
Book 2
THE MOTION OF BODIES (In resisting mediums)
Of the Motion of Bodies that are resisted in the ratio of the Velocity
Of the Motion of Bodies that are resisted in the duplicate ratio of their Velocities Of the Motions of Bodies which are resisted partly in the ratio of the Velocities, and partly in the duplicate of the same ratio Of the circular motion of bodies in resisting mediums Of the density and compression of fluids; and of Hydrostatics Of the motion and resistance of funependulous bodies Of the motion of fluids and the resistance made to projected bodies Of motion propagated thro' fluids Of the circular motion of fluids
