Newtonian

Newtonian refers to the work of Isaac Newton, in particular:

• Newtonian mechanics, i.e. classical mechanics
• Newtonian telescope, a type of reflecting telescope
• Newtonian cosmology
• Newtonian dynamics
• Newtonianism, the philosophical principle of applying Newton's methods in a variety of fields
• Newtonian fluid, a fluid that flows like water—its shear stress is linearly proportional to the velocity gradient in the direction perpendicular to the plane of shear
  • Non-Newtonian fluids, in which the viscosity changes with the applied shear force
