Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton (born: 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727) was a legendary scientist, mathematician, and philosopher, one of the most influential figures in the history of science. His contributions to many fields of science are unparalleled, especially physics, mathematics, and the natural sciences.Newton's work laid the foundation for modern science, and his theories are still valued today.

Newton was born in Wolston, Lincolnshire, England. His father was a farmer at the time of his birth, but his father died shortly after Newton was born. Newton was raised by his grandparents after his mother's leg broke.Newton had a keen interest in learning as a child and was open to different subjects throughout his childhood.

Newton went to university at Trinity College, Cambridge. There he studied mathematics, physics, and astronomy.In 1665, when Cambridge University was temporarily closed due to the coronavirus outbreak, Newton returned home. This was the most creative period of his life, during which he expounded the laws of philosophy, mathematical analysis, and physical laws.

Newton's most famous work, Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), was published in 1687. In this book, he outlined three fundamental laws of motion. Newton's first law, which deals with gravity, states that an object will remain at rest or in a straight line.
