Physics
Today: With help from a £1.5 million donation from
Leonard Polonsky, a financial services billionaire, Cambridge
University plans to digitize and make available online some of
its most scientifically and historically important documents.
Newton's own annotated copy of his
Philosophae Naturalis Principia Mathematica will be
among the first to appear. Further donations could see the
digitization of the papers of James Clerk Maxwell, Lord
Rayleigh, and other Cambridge physicists.
