****************************************************
For a complete and thoughful discussion of Newton's Laws and their
implications see
Foundations of Physics
by
Lindsay and Margenau
*****************************
For a delightfully iconoclastic examination of the "Newton
Myth" and the necessity of the 3 "laws", see Arnold, "Huygens & Barrow,
Newton & Hooke" (Birkhaeuser 1990). Arnold is one of the giants of
modern mechanics. The book is an "expanded version" of a 1986 lecture
at the Moscow Mathematical Society.
