Five Equations That Changed the World: The Power and Poetry of Mathematics is a book written by Michael Guillen in 1995. It is divided into five chapters that talk about five different equations in physics and the people who have developed them. The scientists are:

1. Isaac Newton ${\displaystyle F=GMm/r^{2}}$ (Universal Law of Gravity)
2. Daniel Bernoulli (Law of Hydrodynamic Pressure)
3. Michael Faraday (Law of Electromagnetic Induction)
4. Rudolf Clausius (Second Law of Thermodynamics)
5. Albert Einstein (Theory of Special Relativity)

The book is a light study in science and history, portraying the preludes to and times and settings of discoveries that have been the basis of further development, including space travel, flight and nuclear power. Each chapter of the book is divided into sections titled Veni, Vidi, Vici.
