Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, mechanic and astronomer born in 1642 who made seminal contributions to classical physics and optics. He developed the laws of motion and universal gravitation, which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Newton also invented calculus and made discoveries in optics. Despite his contributions, Newton had an unhappy childhood and solitary nature, and his lectures at Cambridge University were not widely attended during his lifetime.
