Binomial theorem

years at Cambridge by his work under Barrow, which included a thorough grounding in Greek mathematics as well as in the recent work of René Descartes and of John Wallis. During his undergraduate years Newton had discovered what is known as the binomial theorem; invention of the calculus had followed. (Encyclopedia of World Biography. Gale, 2004.) Mathematical questions had been treated at length in correspondence with scientists in England and abroad; and Newton’s contributions to optics and…

bachelor’s degree in 1665. However, that year, a plague forced the university to close temporarily, and he returned home to Woolsthorpe. At home in 1666, he began to develop some of his most groundbreaking theories, including the generalized binomial theorem. He later produced three papers…

Often described as being “one of the greatest names in the history of human thought,” Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, scientist, and mathematician (Domski 1). His discoveries dealing with optics, gravity, and math greatly influenced the world and the effects are lasting still today. Sir Isaac Newton, though widely remembered for his mathematics and scientific accomplishments, was a man of God, whose faith can clearly be seen throughout his life. Newton was born on Christmas day in…

School is an extremely stressful time and stress can easily become overbearing for those who strive for excellence in education. Some students, like myself, have part-time jobs while attending school. While upholding such a tight schedule, it can be very difficult to find time to study and do assignments. A job is a requirement so that money is accessible and payments for education are available. School can be expensive and student loans add up, so a job is needed to pay for it. Although…

He is credited with the generalized binomial theorem (Sir Isaac Newton). This describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial (Sir Isaac Newton). He made substantial contributions to the theory of finite differences. He was one of the first to use fractional exponents and coordinate geometry to derive solutions (Sir Isaac Newton)…

Niccolò Fontana Tartaglia Niccolò Fontana Tartaglia was an Italian mathematician who lived from 1499/1500 to 1557. When he was 12, a French army attacked his town and home, and a soldier cut his face and throat. Left with a speech impediment, he became known by the name “Tartaglia,” which means “the stammerer” in Italian. Tartaglia made many great contributions to the world and specifically to mathematics. He is responsible for finding a solution for cubic equations, writing important…

The Role of Religion in the Life of Sir Isaac Newton Isaac Newton has been heralded as one of the greatest minds that ever lived and is arguably the most brilliant mind of the 17th century; his accomplishments in math and science advanced the understanding of the natural world and served as a foundation for future exploration. Such a portrait of Newton, painted mainly through the eyes of contemporary scientists, leaves an indelible impression that Newton was a simple scientist, albeit a…

Isaac Newton was an English natural philosopher, scientist, mathematician, chemist and physics that influence modern studies and society. His studies and discoveries laid a foundation to many present-day science, math and technology. Newton have a rough childhood, dealing with neglection that left him emotionally unstable. With that said, Newton was a brilliant person that mark his footstep in the field of Science and Math. Isaac Newton was prematurely born on Christmas day in 1642 in…

The world we know today would be extremely different if Sir Isaac Newton had never been alive or had never published his genius theories. Even today, Newton is still praised for his incredible studies and workings in the area of physics of the universe and calculus. During the time Newton was alive, it seemed as if no human mind could ever begin to detangle and determine any of his findings. He lived in a small village as a child with his mother and stepfather. In his youth, Newton supposedly…

To this day, Sir Isaac Newton is remembered as one of the greatest minds of, not only the 17th century, but to ever walk this Earth. His intuition ranged from the subjects of physics and mathematics. From his laws of motion to his law of conservation of momentum, he truly revolutionized the science of his day. He is responsible for publishing one of the most acclaimed works known to science. He was remembered for all the amazing things that he was able to accomplish, but there were some cowardly…
