Issac Newton

1642 marked the death of Galileo and the birth of Sir Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England on Christmas day. (http://galileoandeinstein.physics.virginia.edu) This was the birth of a child that would later become an English physicist, mathematician, natural philosopher and one of the most important scientists of all time. (Encarta Pg. 1 )

Newton's father died before his birth, thus Isaac never really had a father figure in his life. When Newton was three years old, his mother remarried and Newton ended up being raised and brought up by his grandmother. Isaac began his schooling in neighboring towns, at the tender age of ten Newton was sent to a grammar school in Grantham. When Newton was attending school there he lived with a pharmacists named Clark. Many people say that this man may have contributed to Newton's enduring interest in chemical operations. (http://galileoandeinstein.physics.virginia.edu) Newton's childhood was definitely an indication of his brilliance. At a very young age he showed many signs of his vast curiosity in science. Although the young Newton seems to have been a quiet boy he was always very different from other children at his age. He was skilled with his hands, he made, sundials,


windmills, a water clock, and flew kites with lanterns attached to the ends, these are just a few of the things Isaac did in his spare time. Something very interesting to learn about Newton was that he was considered to be very inattentive at school. This was probably just due to the fact that he had knowledge and ideas to which the teachers had never seen. In 1656 Newton's mother returned to Woolsthorpe due to the death of her second husband. Upon her return she took her son out of school in the hope of making him a farmer. Newton had no talent or interest in farming. Fortunately, Newton's former teacher at Grantham recognized the boy's intellectual gifts. Eventually Newton's mother was convinced by, her brother a undergraduate at Cambridge, that it would be better if Newton was allowed to attend the University of Cambridge. In June 1661 Trinity College at Cambridge admitted Newton into the university, where he would study arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry, and later astronomy and optics. Newton was on his way to make history in his studies. (Walker Pg. 10-12)

Newton spent two whole years back at home and he was so different from other people in the town. His life was dedicated to one thing and one thing only and that was science. Newton had no social life at all. Isaac hated the farm life that was of the norm in Woolsthorpe. Newton would work none stop day and night trying to uncover new ideas and new laws of science. Newton's happiest days were definitely at Cambridge. Newton was so fascinated by the World around him; he could look at things and see things that most humans could never see. Isaac Newton never was the type person that could fit into the farm life that Woolsthorpe had to offer. Although at Cambridge it was a total different story, there he was highly esteemed by his peers. (Newton Video)

In 1668 Isaac Newton became the first scientist to build a telescope, this telescope magnified objects fourty times. (Encarta Pg.3) This definitely was an impact of the new order of science. The order of science, that Newton was a part of. Unlike his adversary Robert Hooke, who was of the old order of science. ( Newton Video) Newton became the professor of Mathematics at Cambridge in 1669. As a professor he was put in a very difficult situation. Newton was basically done his study on gravitation and for
