EN : 275 years ago, Emilie du Châtelet (1706-1749) died. She had just finished her translation (greatly expanded) of Newton's Principia Mathematica. Her translation introduced Newton's work to France and the rest of Europe (apart from Great Britain) and brought it into the mainstream of modern mathematics by modernising the notations. But as a true scholar of her time, she was also interested in philosophy, physics, etc.#womeninscience #onthisday
