Unfortunately, at the same time as Newton, calculus was being developed by Leibniz. His many accomplishments in the field of science include:ĭeveloping a theory of calculus. His mathematical and scientific achievements give credence to such a view. Sir Isaac Newton, has been referred to as one of the greatest geniuses of history. An early teenage romance came to nothing, and he remained single throughout his life. For example, he had little time for women. His one-pointed nature led him to, at times, be detached from the world. Isaac Newton had a prodigious capacity to consider mathematical problems, and then focus on them until he had solved the mystery behind them. At the time the prevailing education was based on Aristotle, but Isaac was more interested in modern mathematicians such as Rene Descartes.
Newton at CambridgeĪt Cambridge, he was able to pursue his interests in mathematics, science and physics. It was only through the intervention of the headmaster that Isaac was able to return to finish his studies he passed his final exams with very good results and was able to go to Trinity College, Cambridge. The young Isaac attended school at King’s School, Grantham in Lincolnshire (where his signature is still inscribed on the walls.) Isaac was one of the top students, but before completing his studies his mother withdrew him from school, so Isaac could work as a farmer.
His mother later remarried, but her second husband did not get on with Isaac leading to friction between Isaac and his parents. His father died three months before he was born. Sir Isaac Newton was born on Christmas Day, in 1643, to a relatively poor farming family. A great polymath, Newton’s investigations also included areas of optics, religion and alchemy. His work Principia Mathematica (1687) laid the framework for the Scientific Revolution of the Seventeenth Century. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists of all time, developing new laws of mechanics, gravity and laws of motion. Sir Issac Newton (1643- 1726) was an English mathematician, physicist and scientist.
