Newton, Sir Isaac 1642-1727, English mathematician and natural philosopher (physicist); considered by many the greatest scientist of all Time . He was Lucasian professor of mathematics (1669-1701) at Cambridge Univ. Between 1664 and 1666 he discovered the law of universal Gravitation , began to develop the Calculus, and discovered that white Light is composed of every Color in the Spectrum . In his monumental Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica [Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy] (1687), he showed how his principle of universal gravitation explained both the Motion s of heavenly bodies and the falling of bodies on earth. The Principia covers Dynamics (including Newton's three laws of motion), Fluid Mechanics, the motions of the planets and their satellites (see Communications Satellite Satellite - Artificial ) , the motions of the comets, and the phenomena of Tide s. Newton's theory that Light is composed of particles-elaborated in his Opticks (1704)-dominated optics until the 19th century, when it was replaced by the Wave theory of light; the two theories were combined in the modern

By Dr. Robert A. Hatch - University of Florida N ewton, Sir Isaac (1642-1727) English natural philosopher, generally regarded as the most original and influential theorist in the history of science. In addition to his invention of the infinitesimal calculus and a new theory of light and color, Newton transformed the structure of physical science with his three laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. As the keystone of the scientific revolution of the 17th century, Newton's work combined the contributions of Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, and others into a new and powerful synthesis. Three centuries later the resulting structure - classical mechanics - continues to be a useful but no less elegant monument to his genius. W ith his mother's return to Woolsthorpe in 1653, Newton was taken from school to fulfill his birthright as a farmer. Happily, he failed in this calling, and returned to King's School at Granthan to prepare for entrance to Trinity College, Cambridge. Numerous anecdotes survive from this period about Newton's absent-mindedness as a fledging farmer and his lackluster performance as a student. But the turning point in Newton's life came in June 1661 when he left Woolsthorpe for Cambridge University. Here Newton entered a new world, one he could eventually call his own. A and other forms of mathematics far in advance of Euclid's Elements . Barrow, himself a gifted mathematician, had yet to appreciate Newton's genius.

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.

He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he lived from to . In he was appointed Master of the Royal Mint, and moved to London, where he resided until his death. Beginning in he served on the government's Board of Longitude. Newton died in London on 20 March 1727 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, the first scientist to be accorded this honor. Mathematics: Newton invented integral calculus, and simultaneously with Leibniz, differential calculus. Physics: He defined universal laws of motion and gravitation, and made numerous advances in the principals of reflection and refraction. Astronomy: combining his work in mathematics, statics, and optics, he was able to predict the motions of bodies in the heavens, and build a practical reflecting telescope to see them. His improvements to instrumentation also extended to a better sextant, and an enormous composite burning glass. Chemistry: He derived a precursor to the famous Laplacian formula for finding the velocity of sound in a gas, and he experimented with metal alloys for better telescope reflectors. His metallurgical efforts may have elided with a private interest in alchemy. Newton's most influential works were the Principia ) and Opticks Relationships Newton's preoccupation was his dispute with Gottfried Willhelm Leibniz (

In 1666 he generalized the methods used to draw tangents to curves and to calculate the area swept by curves. Recognizing that the two procedures were inverse operations, he joined them in what he called the fluxional method, a kind of mathematics now known as calculus. German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz independently discovered nearly the same method, calling it differential calculus, and published before Newton did, but Newton did his work earlier.

Sir Isaac Newton, 1624-1727. Cambridge genius, mathematician and physicist. In his Principia Mathematica (1687), Newton introduced his three laws of motion and the concepts of mass, force and the Principle of Universal Gravitation. In his Opticks (1704) he showed that white light was heterogeneously composed of more basic, primary rays, each with its own specific colour and index of refraction. Independently of Gottfried Leibniz, Newton was also the inventor of the calculus. In 1696, Newton gained an appointment as Warden of the Royal Mint and, in 1700, was made Master. The semi-senile Newton was responsible for the determination of the relationship between the values of gold and silver in the minting of coins. His undervaluation of silver led to the effective formation of the gold standard. His understanding of inflation was rather simple-minded blaming it on clipping and forgery. Newton spent much of his spare time coming up with novel ways of combating inflation, i.e. coming up with new gruesome ways to torture and execute counterfeiters and clippers.

Article Name : Newton, Sir Isaac Isaac Newton (1642-1727) is universally considered one of the best mathematicians who ever lived, and many scholars consider him the best mathematician ever. But in addition to his mathematical prowess, his insight into the physical world was no less a part of his greatness. Newton invented and applied a broad range of mathematics both to describe natural phenomena as well as to gain a deeper insight into it. He is also considered one of the greatest physicists who ever lived. Probably the only other man in history who could rival Newton’s contributions to both mathematics and physics was the Greek Archimedes (287 B.C. 212 BC). Newton was born Christmas Day 1642 on a farm in Woolsthorpe, England. Newton does not seem to have enjoyed a happy childhood. His father had died three months before he was born. While still a small boy, his mother remarried and Isaac was reared for some time by a grandmother. Nevertheless, Newton showed some academic promise and he entered Trinity College at age 18. It is thought that his education there was initially leading to a law degree. Newton did not distinguish himself academically, but his thirst for knowledge can be seen in this excerpt from his college notes: “Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my best friend is truth”. Eventually an interest in mathematics was sparked and he came to read both contemporary books on mathematics as well as classical works like Euclid’s “Elements”. In short order Newton went from reading about mathematics to creating it, and by age 23 Newton had devised the binomial theorem and formed a framework for what is known today as differential calculus. At about this time Newton left for home because the bubonic plague had closed Trinity College. Over the next year or so Newton further developed his calculus, laid the foundation for his theory of gravitation, and performed optical experiments. The later endeavor led Newton to pronounce that white light is actually composed of a combination of many colors.

People Buried or Commemorated - Sir Isaac Newton 1642-1727 Newton was born at Woolsthorpe in the parish of Colsterworth, Lincolnshire and educated in Grantham and at Trinity College Cambridge. He became a Fellow of Trinity in 1667 and was Lucasian Professor from 1669 to 1702. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1672, Newton served as its President from 1705 to 1727. He became Master of the Mint in 1699 and was knighted in April 1705. Newton is most commonly known for his conception of the law of universal gravitation, but his other discoveries and inventions in mathematics (e.g. the binomial theorem, differential and integral calculus), optics, mechanics, and astronomy place him at the very forefront of all scientists. His study and understanding of light, the invention of the reflecting telescope (1668), and his revelation in his Principia of the mathematical ordering of the universe are all represented on his monument in Westminster Abbey. Newton died at Kensington on 20 March 1727 and was buried in the Abbey on 28 March. Before the funeral his body lay in state in the Jerusalem Chamber and his coffin was followed to its grave by most of the Fellows of the Royal Society. The Lord Chancellor, two dukes and three earls were pall bearers.

His most important discoveries were made during the two-year period from 1664 to 1666, when the university was closed and he retired to his hometown of Woolsthorpe. At that time he discovered the law of universal gravitation gravitation, the attractive force existing between any two particles of matter . The Law of Universal Gravitation Since the gravitational force is experienced by all matter in the universe, from the largest galaxies down to the smallest particles, it is often called universal gravitation.

Sir Isaac Newton's Notes, Before the Discovery of Gravity. BY JAMIE ALLEN Was walking through town today when an interesting thing happened: I tripped over a stone and fell down. Not up. Down . I contemplated this as I stood and dusted myself off. "Did you see that?" I said to the nearest witness, a homely wench by the alley. "I fell down ." "Yes," she said, "and looked a fool doing it. Never have I seen a man fall so clumsily." I suppressed the urge to call the woman on her stupidity; I went 'round the corner where I tripped myself several times. And each time, I fell down . Query: Have I ever fallen up? Trying to jog my memory ... Saw Mary in town today. My goodness, she is delightfully pleasing to the eye. Here's something interesting: When Mary leans over a basket of apples, I feel the need to ask her out. And further, if I ask her out enough times, and if those requests are followed by responses in the negative that increase in volume as she walks away, sooner or later another man intervenes and asks me to "stop harassing the lady." In this case, the request was repeated and rejected 29 times before an old badger stepped in. Told colleagues of this finding. They suggested further studies. Queries: Will it be 29 requests each time? Or will the chances increase that a man might step in? Or decrease? Something to think about. Had lunch with Gunter yesterday. We dined on sandwiches and ale at Smith's. When an ale boy accidentally spilled a drink atop Gunter's head, he reacted by pummeling the boy into submission. After he sat down again, I decided to test something that had occurred to me during the pummeling. "Say, Gunter," I said. "For the sake of science, are you willing to take part in an experiment?" He grunted his approval. I called another boy over. I asked him to pour ale atop Gunter's head. He did so. Gunter pummeled him, too. I learned several things here: For one, I will never pour ale on Gunter. Also, the ale dripped from Gunter's head down to the floor.

Michael Fowler Physics Dept., U.Va. Index of Lectures and Overview of the Course Link to Previous Lecture Newton's Life In 1642, the year Galileo died, Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe , Lincolnshire, England on Christmas Day. His father had died three months earlier, and baby Isaac, very premature, was also not expected to survive. It was said he could be fitted into a quart pot. When Isaac was three, his mother married a wealthy elderly clergyman from the next village, and went to live there, leaving Isaac behind with his grandmother. The clergyman died, and Isaac's mother came back, after eight years, bringing with her three small children. Two years later, Newton went away to the Grammar School in Grantham, where he lodged with the local apothecary, and was fascinated by the chemicals. The plan was that at age seventeen he would come home and look after the farm. He turned out to be a total failure as a farmer. His mother's brother, a clergyman who had been an undergraduate at Cambridge, persuaded his mother that it would be better for Isaac to go to university, so in 1661 he went up to Trinity College, Cambridge . Isaac paid his way through college for the first three years by waiting tables and cleaning rooms for the fellows (faculty) and the wealthier students. In 1664, he was elected a scholar, guaranteeing four years of financial support. Unfortunately, at that time the plague was spreading across Europe, and reached Cambridge in the summer of 1665. The university closed, and Newton returned home, where he spent two years concentrating on problems in mathematics and physics. He wrote later that during this time he first understood the theory of gravitation, which we shall discuss below, and the theory of optics (he was the first to realize that white light is made up of the colors of the rainbow), and much mathematics, both integral and differential calculus and infinite series. However, he was always reluctant to publish anything, at least until it appeared someone else might get credit for what he had found earlier.
