Isaac Newton Short Biography and 3 Laws of Motion
One of the most influential mathematicians in history is the renowned Englishman Isaac Newton. This man is famous for his contributions in the fields of calculus, theology, physics, and light science. There are very few people who can truthfully say that Newton is not one of the most respected and accomplished scientists known today. The influential life of this man began on December 25, Christmas, 1642 in Woolsthorpe, England. He was prematurely born after his father had passed away and was turned over to the care of his grandmother when he was three years old after his mother remarried. Because he was sickly as a child, he did not participate in the typical activities and games of children his own age. He kept himself busy by manifesting his creative abilities, and soon became quite adept at inventing, as well as reading. Newton went through his regular schooling rather successfully, and, aside from an unfinished engagement with his landlord's daughter, life went on fairly !uneventfully. He attended college at Cambridge University, received his B.A. Degree in 1664, the year of the Bubonic Plague, at which point Newton returned to Woolsthorpe to deliberate the rest of his life. It is this period of rumination that spawned th
2. Second Law: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitue of the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. (F=m x a) Newton returned to Cambridge, where his teacher soon resigned so that Newton himself could replace him as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. In this position he taught on many subjects suck as optics and physics, but his primary interest was alchemy, the origin of modern day chemistry, universal spirituality, and theology. He also devoted much of his time to "the contact of lost souls." He ignored physics and mathematics at this time and so his rare genius went temporarily unused. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The third law is more commonly stated as, "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This law explains that when something is pushed in one direction, there is alwaysa resistance of the same size in the opposite direction. For example, when you throw a ball into the using a considerable amount of force, the ball will go very high before gravity pulls it back down. If you throw the ball with less force, gravity will take hold before the ball travels the same amount of distance, as in the former example. e "greatest achievement of a human intellect in a short period of time." During this interim, Newton invented the mathematical field of calculus, extended the binominal theorem, discovered the Law of Un
