Issac Newton

 

Isaac Newton

He was of scientist, mathematician and astronomer.

He was born on January 4th 1643 in Waldorf England .

His father's name was Isaac Newton's senior and mother's name was Hannah a scoff .

His father was a farmer and had died three months before Newton's birth his mother remarried when Isaac was three years old and left young Isaac in the care of his grandparents

Isaac attended school where he was an adequate student at one point his mother tried to take him out of school so he could help on the farm but Isaac had no interest in becoming a farmer and was soon back at school newton attained his preliminary education from The King's School in Grantham where he excelled and achieved the top rank

He then enrolled himself as a sizer at the Trinity College Cambridge in 1661.

The young Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when an apple falls on his head and in a stroke of brilliant insight he suddenly comes up with his theory of gravity he would spend much of his life at Cambridge becoming a professor of mathematics and a fellow of the Royal Society.

Issac Newton was eventually elected to represent Cambridge University as a member of parliament .

Isaac had to leave Cambridge from 1665 to 1667 because of the Great Plague he spent these two years in study in isolation at his home in world Thorpe developing his theories on calculus gravity and the laws of motion in 1696.

Newton became the warden of the Royal Mint in London he took his duties seriously and tried to get rid of corruption as well as to reform the currency of England.

Issac Newton was elected as the president of the Royal Society in 1703 and was knighted by Queen Anne in 1705 in 1687.

Newton published his most important work called the philosophic notorious principia mathematician , in this work he described the three laws of motion as well as the law of universal gravity this work would go down as one of the most important works in the history of science it not only introduced the theory of gravity but defined the principles of modern physics outlined in the Principia.

His theory about gravity helped to explain the movements of the planets and the Sun this theory is known today as Newton's law of universal gravitation.

Newton's laws of motion were three fundamental laws of physics that laid the foundation for classical mechanics.

Newton invented a whole new type of mathematics which he called fluxional.

Today we call this math calculus and it was an important type of math used in advanced engineering and science in 1668.

Newton invented the reflecting telescope this type of telescope uses mirrors to reflect light and form an image nearly all of the major telescopes used in astronomy today are reflecting telescopes.

He died at March 31st in London England at the age of 84 .
