Abstract
Three axioms, first formulated by Newton, are the foundation of classical mechanics. The first axiom addresses the question of appropriate systems of reference (inertial systems) for the discussion of mechanical problems, the second introduces the basic equations of motion. The third axiom can be considered as an attempt to comment on the fundamental interactions that are found in nature.
