One of the most iconic and famous mathematician known for his great work was Isaac Newton. Newton is credited and considered as one of the most intelligent minds of the 17th century. He has made a big contribution to the scientific revolution, by developing theories on Calculus, Light, and Celestial mechanics. Newton also made many big discoveries that have changed the world and how we see it.
Born into a farmer’s family on January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England is where Isaac Newton spent his early years. Being his father’s only son, his father died three months before he was born. At the age of three his mother, Hannah Ayscough Newton, had remarried Barnabas Smith a minister and Newton was left to live with his grandmother. …show more content…
As a result in 1687, Newton Publicized “Philosophie Naturalis Principia Mathematica” (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), which set the three laws of motion and the law of universal gravity. This was set to be the single most influential books on physics and all science, it is commonly known as Principia and contains information on mostly all the essential concepts of physics. Principia launched Newton to fame, eventually earning universal praise as one of the most important works of modern science. The work he created contains the three basic laws of motion. The first law being, a stationary body will stay stationary unless an external force is applied to it. Second law states, force is equal to mass times acceleration, and change in motion is proportional to the force applied. Third law states, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. These laws helped Newton discover many new findings such as; how the moon revolves around the earth and how the planets are kept in orbit by the pull of the sun’s gravity. Newton was also able to calculate the mass of each planet. With his new discovery, Newton later moved to England as he was named warden of the Royal Mint in 1996, earning him to become the master Mint three years later. In 1703, Newton took
