2. ABOUT SIR ISAAC NEWTON
• Sir Isaac Newton was born on 4th January 1643 in a small village of England called
Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth. He was an English physicist and mathematician, and
one of the important thinkers in the Scientific Revolution.
4. Sir Isaac
Newton’s
Education
Isaac Newton studied at the Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1661.
At 22 in 1665, a year after beginning his four-year scholarship,
Newton finished his first significant discovery in mathematics,
where he revealed the generalized binomial theorem. He was
bestowed with his B.A. degree in the same year
Isaac Newton held numerous positions throughout his life. In
1671, he was invited to join the Royal Society of London after
developing a new and enhanced version of the reflecting
telescope.
5. SIR ISAAC NEWTON’S CONTRIBUTION IN CALCULUS
SIR ISAAC NEWTON WAS THE FIRST INDIVIDUAL TO DEVELOP CALCULUS. MODERN PHYSICS
AND PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT CALCULUS, AS IT IS THE
MATHEMATICS OF CHANGE.
THE IDEA OF DIFFERENTIATING CALCULUS INTO DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS, INTEGRAL
CALCULUS AND DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS CAME FROM NEWTON’S FERTILE MIND. TODAY,
MOST MATHEMATICIANS GIVE EQUAL CREDIT TO NEWTON AND LEIBNIZ FOR CALCULUS’S
DISCOVERY.
7. LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION
The famous apple that he saw falling from a tree led him to discover the force of gravitation and its laws.
Ultimately, he realised that the pressure causing the apple’s fall is responsible for the moon to orbit the earth, as well as comets and other
planets to revolve around the sun.
The force can be felt throughout the universe. Hence, Newton called it the Universal Law of Gravitation.
Newton discovered the equation that allows us to compute the force of gravity between two objects.
8. NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION
• First law of Motion
• Second Law of Motion
• Third law of Motion
