Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27) was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author (described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the Scientific Revolution.

Early life[edit]

Newton was born in Woolsthorpe Manor, England on 25 December 1642. His father, also named Isaac Newton, had died three months before his birth. His mother, Hannah Ayscough, remarried when he was three years old and left him in the care of his maternal grandmother.

Education[edit]

Newton began his education at The King's School, Grantham. He later attended Trinity College, Cambridge where he developed his theories on calculus, optics and the law of gravitation.

Career[edit]

Newton's work in the field of mathematics and physics laid the groundwork for modern science. His book, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), published in 1687, established the laws of motion and universal gravitation.

Legacy[edit]

Newton's contributions to science and mathematics have had a profound impact on the world. His laws of motion and universal gravitation have been used to explain the movements of planets and stars, and his work in optics led to the development of the modern telescope.
