Isaac Newton was an English physicist and a Mathematician. He died on January 4, 1643, Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth United Kingdom. He died March 31, 1727, Kensington, London, United Kingdom. He famous for his law of gravitation. Isaac Newton had many discoveries and achievements. He generalized the binomial theorem. He made the world’s first working reflecting telescope. He created his three laws of motion. Isaac Newton was educated in Trinity college two times, Cambridge two times, The King school, and Grantham. He didn’t get married. He was famous for Physicist, Mathematician, and Astronomer.

His father who died before Newton was born was a farmer, and he wanted Newton to carry on the paternal farm. He was sent to the school of Grantham where his learning excited some attention. In 1656, he went home to learn to farm, but spent most of his time solving problems, making experiments, or devising mechanical models. His mother noticing this, and decided to find something better for Newton. His Uncle when to Trinity College, Cambridge, and she recommended that he should go there.
Newton's views on optics were created out of the original prism experiment he done the experiment at Cambridge. In his "experimentum crucis" he found that the image created by a prism was oval shaped and not circular. He observed a half-red, half-blue ray through a prism, and found the ends to be disjointed. He also observed Newton’s ring that are actually a manifestation of the wave nature of light that Newton did not believe in. Newton believed that light must move faster in a medium when it is refracted towards the normal, in opposition to the result predicted by Huygens’s wave theory. Earlier philosophers like
