    I’m just wondering who’s using a physics textbook from before the Industrial Revolution.

      Newton’s book is from before the industrial revolution and widely used in physics today.

      Nothing I do need to account for relativistic speeds or quantum mechanics so I could get by on Newtonian mechanics just fine. Most people could get by on Archimedes.
