Isaac Newton

Introduction:

Isaac Newton, a British natural philosopher is known as the most original and influential theorist in the history of science. He invented many concepts, such as the invention of the infinitesimal calculus and a new theory of color, renovating the bases of the science field. Newton is known as the source of the revolution in the XVII century. His works combined some of Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo and others into a new powerful synthesis.

Throughout this essay, I’ll explain his most successful and important discoveries, briefly explaining the main events through his life and how he ended up being some of the most important

This investigation is important for me because I know that even three centuries later, the results from his investigation are still present among us. Time must have pass but Newton and his wisdom would be remembered.

Isaac Newton was born 4 in 1643, in Woolsthrope, Linconshire. When he was three years old, his father died, his mother married another man leaving him under the care of his grandmother. After his stepfather died, Newton’s mother sent him to a primary school in Grantham.In the summer of 1661 he was admitted in the Trinity College of the Cambridge University where he became a professor.

During this time, he spent his time studying about Mathematics and natural philosophy. Almost immediately he discovered fundamental pieces that ended up being a great step for his scientific career. Newton leaned towards the physics field, answering questions about the relativity of the light. [1]

The formula created by Newton that receives his name is the universal gravitational formula, which affirms that the force experienced by two bodies endowed with mass is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
