I just happen to be too much of a logician that the name first associates to the Whitehead and Russell book and only several seconds later I realize you meant Newton's book. I was trying to humorously communicate my own initial confusion and its resolution :) Yes it is.

Also, for some reason Epiphany cleared this form when I forgot to type the magic number up above, then hit the back button. This doesn't happen on most sites, so I wonder if it's something you're telling it to do. It would be nice if it didn't do that. Your post suffers from domain confusion, or at least my brain does.

Oh, you mean Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica? :) Whitehead and Russell wrote Principia Mathematica much later than 300 years ago, in 1910 or so.
