Sir Isaac Newton PRS MP was an English physicist and mathematician who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution. Achievement/Contribution: Newton’s accomplishments in life were many. Generally‚ he devoted much of his energy towards alchemy‚ theology‚ and history. Newton built the first reflecting telescope. During his lifetime he was involved in the development of the calculus. Newton who struck upon the Laws

and imaginary. He uses a famous story of Newton discovering the gravity as an example. He says that we have a misconception of an apple falling on his head and that lead to the discovery of gravity‚ instead‚ he saw an apple fell and it inspired him to think of the force of gravity will go beyond earth and into the deep universe. Here is were scientists are creative and imaginative‚ ordinary people may ignore the falling apple‚ but scientists‚ like Newton‚ will think

Brief History of Calculus Calculus was created by Isaac Newton‚ a British scientist‚ as well as Gottfried Leibniz‚ a self-taught German mathematician‚ in the 17th century. It has been long disputed who should take credit for inventing calculus first‚ but both independently made discoveries that led to what we know now as calculus. Newton discovered the inverse relationship between the derivative (slope of a curve) and the integral (the area beneath

The beginning of Astronomy didn’t exactly begin with a telescope. It was millions of years before Sir Isaac Newton or Galileo Galilei‚ It was the cavemen‚ they didn’t actually measure the distance between stars or discover Jupiter’s sixteen moons. They just observed the night sky‚ and went on their way. Astronomy is often associated with religion; early civilization

intellectual people who opened their minds and thought differently. In ancient Rome‚ the genius was the guiding spirit or tutelary deity of a person. Isaac Newton is a typical example for a genius because if it weren’t for him we would have not known about gravity. An apple falling on one’s head would not make him think why it fell on him but Newton especially thought on why the apple had to fall down.
