his educationso while at college he worked as a servant to pay his way. Newton also
kept a journal where he was able to express his ideas on various topics. He became
interested in mathematicsafter buying a book at a fair and not understandingthe math
concepts it contained. Newton graduatedwith a bachelorsdegree in 1665. The further
pursuit of an education was interrupted bythe plague. Trinity Collegewas closed due to
the highly contagious, deadly disease. Newton went home. It was during this time that
Newton started to pursue his own ideas on math, physics, optics and astronomy. By
1666 he had completedhis early work on his three laws of motion. The university
reopened andNewton took a fellowship in order to obtainhis masters degree.
