The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The Principia is written in Latin and comprises three volumes, and was authorized by Samuel Pepys, then-president of the Royal Society on 5 July 1686 and first published in 1687.
- After annotating and correcting his personal copy of the first edition, Newton published two further editions, one of 1713 with errors in the 1687 version corrected, and another, improved one of 1726.
- The Principia forms a mathematical foundation for the theory of classical mechanics, and is generally considered to be one of the most important works in the history of science.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica article was read about 190,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 87: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
