Isaac Newton – Biography  Early live Isaac Newton was a famous  mathematician and physicist and   is considered to be one of the  most influential people in human   history. He was born prematurely   in Lincolnshire, England. In 1655,   when he was 12, he started study   at The King’s School. Six years  later, he admitted to Trinity College   in Cambridge as a  sizar .
Why is famous? In 1665 discovered the generalised binomial theorem. After one year he appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics on Barrow’s recommendation. Ten years later, he wrote   the  Hypothesis of Light . In 1687, published   Principia  (Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia   Mathematica), the most important work  in the history of science. The book contains  the Newton’s laws of motion and also the  Newton’s law of universal gravitation.
Later live In 1689 was a member of the Parliament of England. Four years afterwards suffered a nervous breakdown. In 1696 moved to London to take up the post of warden of the Royal Mint. Seven years later, made president of the Royal Society. In 1705 Queen Ana knights Newton, the first scientist. Twelve years later, created the pound sterling de facto from the silver standard. After ten years he died at Cranbury Park.
Tim Berners-Lee – Chronology  1955 Tim was born in London, England.  1973 He studies at The Queen’s College where he received his  first-class degree in Physics. 1980 He works on a project : a real-time remote procedure call. 1989 Writes his initial proposal of the Transmission Control  Protocol and domain name system ideas: The World  Wide Web (www). 1991 The first web site built by him and was putted on line on  6 August.
1994 Berners-Lee founds the World Wide Web Consortium. 1999 Time Magazine  names Berners-Lee one of the 100 Most  Important People of the 20 th  Century. 2000- Receives very important awards: Computer History 2009  Museum, Knight Commander of the Order of the      British Empire, honorary doctorate of some      universities, Order of Merit, Doctor of Science... 2009 Was elected as a member of the United States National  Academy of Sciences.
Tim Berners-Lee – Biography Later live Tim Berners-Lee is a  British engineer,  computer scientist and MIT professor. In 1955  he was born in London, England. Many years  later he studied at the  Queen’s College where  he received his first-class  degree in Physics.
Why is famous? Seven years later he worked  on a project:  a real-time remote  procedure call .  In 1989 wrote  his initial proposal of the Tran- smission Control Protocol and  domain name system ideas: The  World Wide Web (www). After  two years published the first  web site built by him and was putted on line on 6 August. Three years afterwards founded World Wide Web Consortium.
In 1999  Time Magazine  named names Berners-Lee one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20 th  Century. Between 2000 and 2009 received very important awards: Computer History Museum, Knight Commander of the order of the British Empire, honorary doctorate of some universities, Order of Merit, Doctor of Science...
