Madame du Châtelet translated Newton's masterwork of physics, the "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy," into French. She also defended Newton in the Newton-Leibniz controversy. This OER shoes images from some of du Châtelet's works as well as how she is pictured in Algarotti's popular introduction to Newtonian science.
