The first is his boyhood days from 1643 up to his appointment to a chair in 1669. The second period from 1669 to 1687 was the highly productive period in which he was Lucasian professor at Cambridge. The third period (nearly as long as the other two combined) saw Newton as a highly paid government official in London with little further interest in mathematical research. Isaac Newton was born in the manor house of Woolsthorpe, near Grantham in Lincolnshire. Although by the calendar in use at the time of his birth he was born on Christmas Day 1642, we give the date of 4 January 1643 in this biography which is the "corrected" Gregorian calendar date bringing it into line with our present calendar. (The Gregorian calendar was not adopted in England until 1752.) Isaac Newton came from a family of farmers but never knew his father, also named Isaac Newton, who died in October 1642, three months before his son was born. Although Isaac's father owned property and animals which made him quite a wealthy man, he was completely uneducated and could not sign his own name. You can see a picture of Woolsthorpe Manor as it is now Isaac's mother Hannah Ayscough remarried Barnabas Smith the minister of the church at North Witham, a nearby village, when Isaac was two years old. The young child was then left in the care of his grandmother Margery Ayscough at Woolsthorpe. Basically treated as an orphan, Isaac did not have a happy childhood. His grandfather James Ayscough was never mentioned by Isaac in later life and the fact that James left nothing to Isaac in his will, made when the boy was ten years old, suggests that there was no love lost between the two. There is no doubt that Isaac felt very bitter towards his mother and his step-father Barnabas Smith. When examining his sins at age nineteen, Isaac listed:-

Sir Isaac Newton Very Interesting! In addition to mathematics, physics and astronomy, Newton also had an interest in alchemy, mysticism and theology. As the years progressed, Newton completed his work on universal gravitation Throughout Newton's career he was torn between his desire for fame and his fear of criticism. His overwhelming fear of criticism caused him to resist immediate publication of his work. As a consequence Newton often felt compelled to defend his work against plagiarism. One such dispute arose over calculus. Though Newton had been the first to derive calculus as a mathematical approach, Gottfried Leibniz was the first one to widely disseminate the concept throughout Europe. The dispute with Leibniz dominated the last years of his life. Newton died in 1727. A Question In 1665 Newton's education was interrupted. Why? Did you know?

Sir Isaac Newton As indicated earlier, Newton and his followers argued vehmently with Huygens and his followers over the nature of light. Newton subscribed to a "corpuscular" theory, where he envisioned light as small compact bodies of energy. Huygens focussed on the wave like nature and developed that theory. The diffraction properties of light were so obvious, that Huygens school eventually won out, and the wave theory of light ruled science for the next three centuries.

Sir Isaac Newton Sir Isaac Newton, 1642- , English scientist and mathematician. Newton entered Trinity College, Cambridge , in 1661, where he studied the works of such modern thinkers as Boyle , Descartes, Gassendi, Galileo, and Wallis. When an outbreak of the plague closed the university in 1665, Newton retired to Lincolnshire and began his pathbreaking work in physics, astronomy, optics, and mathematics. His earliest major work was on mathematics. At the same time that Leibniz was developing the theory and techniques of calculus, Newton, working independently on what he called the "method of fluxions," arrived at many of the same conclusions, and made possible nearly all subsequent mathematical and scientific investigation. On the strength of this work, Newton was named Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge in 1669, when he was only twenty-seven. There he began a course of lectures on optics, in which he argued that white light is in fact a composite of all the colors in the spectrum. He applied his discoveries in the invention of the reflecting telescope, which he donated in 1671 to the Royal Society , and was elected a fellow of the Society in the following year.

Sir Isaac Newton Sir Isaac Newton is best known for explaining how gravity works. Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England on January 4, 1643. As a child, he loved to make model windmills and other mechanical toys, but he did badly in school and even worse running the family estate. At the University of Cambridge, both the students and professors disliked him because of the chip on his shoulder. He was about to quit when one of his professors recognized the genius behind his rude behavior and became Newton's special tutor. It was while he was on a break from Cambridge that Newton started thinking about gravity. Scientists already knew such a force existed, but Newton found the formula to describe how much force any two bodies will exert on each other. Since he couldn't prove his theory with the mathematics available, he invented calculus to do it for him. He explained the mathematical theory on tides under gravitational pull from the sun, moon and earth. He discovered the secrets of light and color and showed how the universe is held together. He made all of those amazing discoveries within 18 months, between 1665 and 1667, though he didn't publish his theory on how gravity works until 1687. Some people call that book, The Principia, the greatest scientific book ever written. He also invented the reflecting telescope. Newton was knighted by Queen Anne and became Sir Isaac in 1705.

SIR ISAAC NEWTON English scientist, astronomer and mathematician Born in 1642 - Died in 1727 Sir Isaac Newton when he was a boy, was more interested in making mechanical devices than in studying. He made a windmill that could grind wheat and corn, and he made a water clock and a sundial. His teachers thought of him as a poor student. He wanted to go to college, but he didn't have the money to go. He enrolled at the lowest entry. In this position he had to serve the other students by running errands for them. He even ate the leftovers of their meals, but he would do anything to get an opportunity to learn. Even when he was in college, he was not outstanding and received no awards. When the university shut down because of the plague, he went home and continued to study on his own. He had a notebook with 140 blank pages and he began to fill them with notes as he read and experimented. His childlike curiosity led him to make some very important discoveries when he became a man. Within a period of a year and half he made three great discoveries. One day when he was drinking tea in the garden, he saw an apple fall to the ground. He started thinking about why it fell, and finally concluded that the same force that caused the apple to fall also kept the moon in orbit around the earth. This same force, gravity

His widowed mother remarried when he was three years old, leaving him in the care of his feeble grandmother. Eventually his mother was persuaded to send him to grammar school in Grantham. Later, in the summer of 1661, he was sent to Trinity College, at the University of Cambridge. Isaac NEwton recieved his bachelor's degree in 1665. After an intermission of nearly two years he returned to Trinity College, which elected him to a fellowship in 1667. Isaac Newton recieved his master's dgree in 1668. Newton ignored much of the established curriculum of the university to pursue his own interests: mathematics and natural philosophy. Proceeding entirely on his own, he investigated the latest developments in mathematics and the new natural philosophy that treated nature asw a complicated machine. Almost immediately, he made fundamental discoveries that were instrumental in his career in science. Sir Isaac Newton, the English mathematician and physicist, is considered to be the one of the greatest scientists in history. HE made important contributions to many fields of science. His discoveries and theories laid the foundation for much of the progress in science and math since his time. NEwton also solved the mysteries of light and optics, formulatted the three laws of motion, and derived from them the law of universal gravitation. Isaac Newton is conclusively a very imprtant person to science today. His many discoveries and theories were the building blocks of much science. Imagine if that apple had'nt fallen on his head.

Resources Menu Categorical Index Library Gallery Sir Isaac Newton Scientist and Mathematician If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants. Isaac Newton was born on December 25, 1642 in Woolsthorpe, near Grantham in Lincolnshire, England. He was born the same year Galileo died. Newton is clearly the most influential scientist who ever lived. His accomplishments in mathematics, optics, and physics laid the foundations for modern science and revolutionized the world. Newton was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge where he lived from 1661 to 1696. During this period he produced the bulk of his work on mathematics. In 1696 he was appointed Master of the Royal Mint, and moved to London, where he resided until his death. As mathematician, Newton invented integral calculus, and jointly with Leibnitz, differential calculus. He also calculated a formula for finding the velocity of sound in a gas which was later corrected by Laplace. Newton made a huge impact on theoretical astronomy. He defined the laws of motion and universal gravitation which he used to predict precisely the motions of stars, and the planets around the sun. Using his discoveries in optics Newton constructed the first reflecting telescope. Newton found science a hodgepodge of isolated facts and laws, capable of describing some phenomena, and predicting only a few. He left it with a unified system of laws, that could be applied to an enormous range of physical phenomena, and used to make exact predications. Newton published his works in two books, namely "Opticks" and "Principia."

13. Sir Isaac Newton: The Universal Law Of Gravitation sir isaac newton's theroy on gravitational attraction. http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/history/newtongrav.html

Sir Isaac Newton: The Universal Law of Gravitation There is a popular story that Newton was sitting under an apple tree, an apple fell on his head, and he suddenly thought of the Universal Law of Gravitation. As in all such legends, this is almost certainly not true in its details, but the story contains elements of what actually happened. What Really Happened with the Apple? Probably the more correct version of the story is that Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes from zero as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and the associated acceleration the "accleration due to gravity". Then imagine the apple tree is twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree. Sir Isaac's Most Excellent Idea Now came Newton's truly brilliant insight: if the force of gravity reaches to the top of the highest tree, might it not reach even further; in particular, might it not reach all the way to the orbit of the Moon! Then, the orbit of the Moon about the Earth could be a consequence of the gravitational force, because the acceleration due to gravity could change the velocity of the Moon in just such a way that it followed an orbit around the earth.

Sir Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727) From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. The mathematicians considered in the last chapter commenced the creation of those processes which distinguish modern mathematics. The extraordinary abilities of Newton enabled him within a few years to perfect the more elementary of those processes, and to distinctly advance every branch of mathematical science then studied, as well as to create some new subjects. Newton was the contemporary and friend of Wallis, Huygens, and others of those mentioned in the last chapter, but though most of his mathematical work was done between the years 1665 and 1686, the bulk of it was not printed - at any rate in book-form - till some years later. I propose to discuss the works of Newton more fully than those of other mathematicians, partly because of the intrinsic importance of his discoveries, and partly because this book is mainly intended for English readers, and the development of mathematics in Great Britain was for a century entirely in the hands of the Newtonian school. Isaac Newton was born in Lincolnshire, near Grantham, on December 25, 1642, and died at Kensington, London, on March 20, 1727. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and lived there from 1661 till 1696, during which time he produced the bulk of his work in mathematics; in 1696 he was appointed to a valuable Government office, and moved to London, where he resided till his death.

Sir Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727) Isaac Newton was born on 4 January 1643 in the manor house in Woolsthorpe, three months after his father's death. He was so tiny that no one expected him to survive. When Newton was three years old, his mother remarried, an event which improved her situation, and led to three more children, but which deprived Isaac of a mother. His stepfather, the Reverend Mr Smith, would not take the three-year-old Newton along with his mother, and he was left at Woolsthorpe with his grandparents. We know little about Newton's pre-teen years, other than that he attended day schools in the neighbouring villages of Skillington and Stoke. In August 1653, when Newton was 10, the Reverend Smith died and Isaac's mother returned to Woolsthorpe. At the age of 12, Newton was sent to grammar school in Grantham. Here he got the standard education of the time, which included Latin and Greek, and some Bible studies - taught at the time to reinforce the Protestant faith in England. He was placed in the bottom class at Grantham, but a playground fight that he won due to sheer spirit began a rise to the top of the school. He mostly kept his own company, as he was a 'sober, silent, thinking lad', and when he did associate with others, it was nearly always with girls. He is remembered from that time in Grantham for 'his strange inventions and extraordinary inclination for mechanical works'. Among these were a windmill powered by a treadmill run by a mouse - the latter urged on by tugs on a string tied to its tail - dolls' furniture for the girls at Newton's school, and a little four-wheeled vehicle for himself, which ran by crank, which he could turn while sitting in it.

Isaac Newton Special thanks to the Microsoft Corporation for their contribution to our site.  The following information came from Microsoft Encarta. I INTRODUCTION Newton, Sir Isaac (1642-1727), mathematician and physicist, one of the foremost scientific intellects of all time. Born at Woolsthorpe, near Grantham in Lincolnshire, where he attended school, he entered Cambridge University in 1661; he was elected a Fellow of Trinity College in 1667, and Lucasian Professor of Mathematics in 1669. He remained at the university, lecturing in most years, until 1696. Of these Cambridge years, in which Newton was at the height of his creative power, he singled out 1665-1666 (spent largely in Lincolnshire because of plague in Cambridge) as "the prime of my age for invention". During two to three years of intense mental effort he prepared Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy ) commonly known as the Principia, although this was not published until 1687. As a firm opponent of the attempt by King James II to make the universities into Catholic institutions, Newton was elected Member of Parliament for the University of Cambridge to the Convention Parliament of 1689, and sat again in 1701-1702. Meanwhile, in 1696 he had moved to London as Warden of the Royal Mint. He became Master of the Mint in 1699, an office he retained to his death. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1671, and in 1703 he became President, being annually re-elected for the rest of his life. His major work

NEWTON'S LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION. ... [TOC] 1. NEWTON'S LIFE: South east of an area that was to become the English industrial heartland, in a little village called Woolsthorpe, Issaac Newton made his entry into the world. He was prematurely born, and, was so small at his birth, his mother used to say that "he might then have been put into a quart mug." His widowed mother - Newton's father had died several months before his birth - was to re-marry; and - there apparently being no room for a two year old in the new Newton household - this small misplaced child passed into the care of his grandmother. Newton had a bad start with his schooling; he has been described as having been one of the poorest performing students in the grammar school in which his grandmother had placed him. The story is that the boy suffered from a blow delivered by a schoolyard bully; or was it that he was struck on the head by an apple: whatever it was, an event occurred whereby "the hard shell which imprisoned his genus was cracked wide open." The boy was to make a dramatic turn around, early in his scholastic career. He was to ask questions which many of us sooner or later have come to ask. What is light and how is it transmitted? What keeps the moon in the orbit of the earth, and the planets in the orbit of the sun? Why does the apple fall to the ground? Newton came, in time, to answer these questions and was to give positive proof of these answers, proofs and answers which serve us yet today.
