Sir Isaac Newton Biography in English | English mathematician | The most influential scientists.


 


Sir Isaac Newton, he was of scientist mathematician, and astronomer he was born on January 4th1643 in Waldorf England his father's name was Isaac Newton's senior and his 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 the 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'sSchool in Grantham where he excelled and achieved the top rank he then enrolled himself as a sizer at the TrinityCollege Cambridgein 1661 the young Isaac Newton is 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 Cambridgebecoming a professor of mathematics and a fellow of the Royal Society he eventually was elected to represent Cambridge University as a member of parliament Isaac had to leave Cambridge 



from 1665 to 1667because of the Great Plague he spent these two years in study in isolation at his home in the 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 he was elected president of the Royal Society in 1703and was knighted by Queen Anne in 1705in 1687 Newton published his most important work called the philosophic notorious Principia mathematician this work he described the three laws of 



motion as well as the law of universal gravity this work would godown 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'slaw of universal gravitation Newton'slaws 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 fluxions today we call 



this maths calculus and 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 telescope she 


died on March 31st 17:27in London England at the age of 84 -every action there is always opposed an equal reaction said, Isaac Newton
