ISAAK NEWTON

The great English scientist Isaak Newton was bom in the village of Woolthorpe, not far from the university town of Cambridge on December 25, 1642. Little Isaak was left to the care of his mother, grandmother and uncle who sent him to school. In his early years young Isaak showed more as one who could make things with his hand then a scholar. He made various things. He made a clock that worked by water. He also made a sun-dial. When Isaak grew older, he took a con-sider¬able interest in mathematics. His ability as mathematician and physicist was very important. His first physical experiment was carried out when he was sixteen years old.
On June 5, 1661 Newton entered the University of Cam¬bridge where he stud-ied mathematics. Soon he became famous for his contribution to mathematics by the time he was twenty-one. When Newton was twenty-two years old he began studying the theory of gravitation. In 1665, while he was on a visit in his native village, he saw an apple fall from a tree and began wondering what force made the apple fall.
At Cambridge Newton read with great interest the writ¬ings of Galileo, he knew the geometry of Descartes, he worked out the methods of calculus. Newton performed many experiments with light and found that white light was made up of rays of different colours. He invented a reflecting telescope. Newton developed a mathematical method which is known as the Binomial Theo¬rem and also differential and integral calculus.
In 1669 Newton was appointed professor and began lectures on mathematics and optics at Cambridge. He examined the attraction of one mass by another. This was of great importance. It enabled Newton to treat the problems of the sun, moon and earth like problems of geometry.
