Gravitation
Newton's law of gravitation has been called the greatest generalization achieved by the human mind
. It is equally remarkable that nature can follow such an elegantly simple principle. We shall learn about Newton's law, and also get an elementary understanding of how fields can be a helpful concept in physics.
