- He was born on December 25, 1642.
- He began to study the Ancient teachings of Aristotle in 1661.
- Newton had been appointed professor of mathematics at Cambridge in 1669.
- Three years later, in 1672, he invented the reflecting telescope.
- In 1687 he published his major work, the Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy.
FUN FACT: ISAAC NEWTON'S DISCOVERIES WERE SO NUMEROUS AND VARIED THAT MANY CONSIDERED HIM TO BE THE FATHER OF MODERN SCIENCE.
Where? He was born is Woolsthrope England, while he died in London.
Telescope
Isaac invented the reflecting telescope 3 years after he had been appointed professor of mathematics at Cambridge.
Universal Gravitational Law
Newton discovered the universal gravitational law. In which explains why an apple falls from a tree, why we are standing on the ground; why apples don't fall up.
Laws about Gravity
There are three different laws about gravity in science. Which are law of orbits, law of areas, and law of periods.
FUN FACT: Sir Isaac Newton was born on Christmas Day in 1642; however with the calendar changes on the 19th century, that date became January 4, 1643.
Discoveries Impacts on Life Today
Sir Isaac Newton laid the foundation for the creation of modern calculus through his work in the field of mathematics. He helped in Science by discovering laws such as the universal gravitational laws. Both of these have very big impacts on discoveries today.
Isaac's Invention Of The Reflecting Telescope
Isaac invented the reflecting telescope three years after he had been appointed professor of mathematics at Cambridge.
WHAT DID ISAAC DO?
Isaac Newton was a physicist and mathematician who laid the foundations of calculus and, and extended the understanding of color and light. (contributions to science)
