Although there were many scientists and mathematicians in the 16th century, Sir Isaac Newton and James Gregory stood out the most. Isaac created the three laws of motion, and James had important results on infinite series expansions of various trigonometric functions. Some other scientists from the 17th century were Galileo Galilei, Willebrord Snell, and Nicholas Cabeus. Some other mathematicians from the 17th century were Ole Roemer, John Collins, and Robert Hooke. These are only some scientists and mathematicians but Isaac and James had better accomplishments.

A famous scientist from the 16th century was Sir Isaac Newton. He was born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, UK. Isaac’s …show more content…
James was born on November, 1638 in Drumoak, UK. James was the son of an Anglican Priest(Malet). His mother gave him an early education. After his father died in 1650, James was sent to Aberdeen for grammar school, and later went to Marischal College. After finishing college, he went to London, UK where he wrote, “ The Advance of Optics”.period always goes inside of quotation marks Finally, he settled in Padua, Italy. He wrote two more mathematical papers called, “The True Squaring of The Circle and of The Hyperbola”, and “The Universal part of Geometry”(Malet). He was later appointed to The University of St. Andrews, Scotland. He started to get disgusted with that University so he went to the University of Edinburgh. While in Scotland, he did not write any more mathematical papers, but this is where he found his important results on the infinite series expansions of various trigonometric functions. He died in October, 1675 in Edinburgh, …show more content…
For Isaac, there was the Great Plague which closed down Cambridge and caused him to go home. While he was home he saw the apple fall and by seeing that it gave him the theory of gravity.Then for James there was a protest that marched in Edinburgh. This happened when he was going to the University of Edinburgh. The protesters were turned back at the city gates. These are only some events that influenced Newton and Gregory( Timeline: 1660 to 1700).
Many discoveries and mathematical theories happened in the 16th century, but Isaac Newton’s discoveries changed everything both back then and now. Isaac’s discovery of gravity made a huge change back then. It had an even bigger influence now because of gravityRun on we better understand playing basketball and coasting down a hill with a car. That's not all gravity effects. James Gregory made it so we can find the infinite series for pi. Students everywhere learn and use pi daily.
There were a lot of scientists and mathematicians in the 1600’s. Only a handful of these scientists and mathematicians became famous. Isaac Newton became famous for the discovery of Gravity, and James Gregory became kind of famous for his discovery of the first infinite series expansion for pi. Isaac and James had a lot more discoveries and theories.That's why James and Isaac were some of the best scientists and
