The story of Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton

 is one of the most important scholars in history. So much so that Albert Einstein said to Isaac Newton that he was the smartest person on earth. During his life, Newton established the theory of gravity, and the laws of motion (which became the basis of physics), a new type of mathematics called calculus, and he made great progress in the field of Optics are like a reflecting telescope.

Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe,

 England on January 4, 1643. His father is a farmer, also named Isaac Newton, but he died three months before the birth of baby Isaac. His mother married when Isaac was three years old and left little Isaac in the care of his grandfather and grandmother.

Isaac entered the school and was an accepted student. At one point his mother tried to take him from school so he could help out on the farm, but Isaac was not interested in becoming a farmer, and he quickly got back to school.

Most of the time, Isaac grew up alone. For the rest of his life, he would prefer to work and live alone, to focus on his writings and studies.

In 1661, Isaac began attending college at the University of Cambridge. Where he spent most of his life in Cambridge, he became professor of mathematics and a fellow of the Royal Society (the Royal Society includes a group of scholars in England). In the end, he was elected to represent the University of Cambridge as a Member of Parliament.

Isaac was forced to leave Cambridge 1665-1667 due to the plague. He spent those two years studying in isolation at his home in Woolsthorpe and developing his theories of calculus, gravity, and the laws of motion.

In 1696 Newton became the principal overseer of the Royal Mint in London. He took his duties seriously and tried to get rid of corruption as well as reform the currency in England. He was elected president of the Royal Society in 1703 and was given a knighthood by Queen Anne in 1705.
