Yes, but isn't it clever and beautiful that he could do all that without resorting to calculus? I'm thinking of making an attempt at reading it precisely to try to appreciate his geometric reasoning. Also in my time in highschool they used a physics text book which for some reason didn't use calculus at all, and as I remember they had to use a few neat tricks to present the topics in that manner without much dilution.
