  1. Method of first and last ratios - Done up to "LEMMA IV."
  2. Determination of centripetal forces
  3. Motion of bodies in eccentric conic sections
  4. Finding of elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic orbits from the focus given
  5. How the orbits are to be found when neither focus is given
  6. How the motions are to be found in given orbits
  7. Rectilinear ascent and descent of bodies
  8. Determination of orbits in which bodies will revolve, being acted upon by any sort of centripetal force
  9. Motion of bodies in movable orbits; and the motions of the apsides
  10. Motion of bodies in given surfaces; and the oscillating pendulous motion of bodies
  11. Motions of bodies tending to each other with centripetal forces
  12. Attractive forces of spherical bodies
  13. Attractive forces of bodies which are not spherical

Book 2

THE MOTION OF BODIES (In resisting mediums)
  1. Motion of bodies that are resisted in the ratio of the velocity
  2. Motion of bodies that are resisted as the square of their velocities
  3. Motion of bodies that are resisted partly in the ratio of the velocities, and partly as the square of the same ratio
  4. Circular motion of bodies in resisting mediums
  5. Density and compression of fluids; hydrostatics
  6. Motion of fluids, and the resisance made to projected bodies
  7. Motion propagated through fluids
  8. Circular motion of fluids
