Getting to Know Sir Isaac Newton
Origin/Backorund:
Born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, England, Isaac Newton was an established physicist
and mathematician, and is credited as one of the great minds of the 17th century Scientific
Revolution. With discoveries in optics, motion and mathematics, Newton developed the
principles of modern physics. In 1687, he published his most acclaimed work, Philosophiae
Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), which has
been called the single most influential book on physics. Newton died in London on March 31,
1727.

Best Known For:

English physicist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton, most famous for his law of gravitation,
was instrumental in the scientific revolution of the 17th century.

Branch Of Science:
Newton specialized in the branch of science known as physics. He was primarily concerned
with issues of matter and motion. He was also a well-known mathematician, and taught
mathematics at the University of Cambridge.

How did this scienctist change the world for the better?
How Isaac Newton Changed the World. Isaac Newton laid the blueprints for his three laws of
motion, still recited by physics students, in 1666. ... Newton's wide range of discoveries, from
his theories of optics to his groundbreaking work on the laws of motion and gravity, formed the
basis for modern physics.

Other significant breakthroughs bought about by this work:

Besides his work on universal gravitation (gravity), Newton developed the three laws of motion
which form the basic principles of modern physics. His discovery of calculus led the way to more
powerful methods of solving mathematical problems. His work in optics included the study of white
light and the discovery of the color spectrum. It was his experiments with light that first made him
famous. Just one example of break through cause by newtons discoveries is space travel and
sattelites. The theories and laws that allow scientists to launch spacecraft and put them into orbit
were all discovered by Newton.
What is it important to get to know sir isaac newton through his work what does knowledge
tell you about the study of motion?
Sir Isaac Newton is important in the field of physics. Without him, there would be no laws of
motion. His law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion
will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external unbalance force.
