Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton developed calculus, natural forces, and optics. Newton was born on Christmas Day in 1642. His father had died before he was born, but he was still given his father's name (Westfall 17).Isaac stayed with his grandparents when his mother went to live with her second husband. While living with his grandparents he attended day school nearby (Westfall 17).After his grandmother died and Newton was seventeen, his mother took him out of school and brought him back to the family farm. She tried to teach him how to run the farm and manage the estate; this was a failure. In all of his spare time he returned to inventing and building
At Cambridge Newton studied mathematics. Modern study of aerodynamics and the science of hydrodynamics would be impossible without the principles of the calculus. The law of Inertia- an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. There was an equation that went along with this law which is F=ma. Newton formulated three laws of motion, and resulting from them the law of universal gravitation. He made most of his important discoveries there: pure mathematics, theory of gravitation, and optics, all before he even graduated college.
