ISAAC NEWTON (1642—1727)
Sir Isaac Newton, English mathematician and physicist, one of the fore-
most scientific intellects of all time, was born at Woolsthorpe, near Grantham 
in Lincolnshire where he attended school. He entered Cambridge University 
in 1661. In two years he already made a number of important contributions 
to mathematics, physics (optics, mechanics) and astronomy. He was elected 
a Fellow of Trinity College in 1667 and Professor of Mathematics in 1669.

Newton is the discoverer of the Law of Gravitation. Once he saw how 
an apple is falling from the tree and began thinking about it. Gradually 
he came to conclusion that the force which pulled the apple to the ground 
was the same as the force which kept the Moon to its orbit around the Earth. 
He extended his theory of gravitation to the movements of the planets round 
the Sun. Among fundamentals to mechanics are the three laws of motion 
formulated by I. Newton.
He summarized his theories in his masterpiece “The Principia” which 
was published in 1687. He could unite various phenomena of the universe by 
means of his Universal Law of Gravitation.
Newton was highly appreciated by scientists both at home and abroad. 
In 1699 he was elected a foreign member of the French Academy of Sciences. 
In 1703 he was elected President of the Royal Society. In 1705 he was given the 
title of knight for his great contribution to the world science.
