(20[2])While building on work (20[1])by this scientist, (20[2])Émilie du Châtelet formalized the law of conservation of energy. This non-Kepler (0[1])scientist proposed the (*) three-body problem and solved (10[2])the two-body (10[1]0[1])problem. (10[2])Galilean transformations preserve conditions (10[1])named for this scientist by converting (10[1])between inertial reference frames. This scientist's Principia (10[1])includes (10[2])his (10[1])inverse-square (10[2])law (10[2])for (10[1])"universal (10[3])gravitation."
