Air date: Jan 01, 2010

Explore Newton's radically different way of thinking in science that makes him a giant among applied mathematicians. By analyzing the mathematical consequences of Kepler's laws, he came up with the unifying principle of the inverse square law, which governs how the force of gravity acts between two bodies.
