A Brief Biography Of Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton:
English Natural Philosopher and Mathematician ,Isaac Newton was born on 25th December 1642 at Woolsthorpe Manor, in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth a hamlet in the country of Lincolnshire. Many of his theories and discoveries laid to the foundation of the progress in science .Newton formulated three laws of motion, he solved the mysteries of light and optics, derived the laws of universal gravitation form the laws of motion. He is one of the innovator for Calculus which is a branch of Mathematics, which was a powerful and new method that carried modern mathematics above the level of Greek geometry.
The Postmortem son of an illiterate yeoman. When he was barely three years old Newton's mother, placed Newton with his mother in order to remarry and hike a second family with Barnabas Smith, a wealthy priest from nearby North Witham. Newton went to grammar school in Grantham and was left in the care of his grandmother. Until Hanna returned to Woolsthorpe in 1653 after the death of Barnabas Smith, Newton was denied his mother's attention, a possible clue to his convoluted character. At this time Newton was taken from school to carry off his birthright as a farmer.But,he returned to King's School at Grantham to prepare for entrance to Trinity College,Cambridge.He acquired bachelor's degree in1665.Various reminiscences survive from this period about Newton's absent-mindedness as a novice farmer and his lusterless performance as a student. But a crux in Newton's life came in June 1661,when he left Woolsthorpe for Cambridge University. During his undergraduate years he mastered the work of Thomas Hobbes, Pierre Gassendi,Rene Descartes and other figures. He developed mathematical theories and generalized binomial theorem, he...

...ystem .His work in mechanics was endorsed at once in Britain, and Celestially after half a century. It has been elongated and consummated by others, notably Pierre Simon de Leplace,without modifying its base and it remained till late 19th century before it began to show nods of failing.
Newton's publications include "Geographia generalis by the German geographer Varenius" in 1672,"Principia" in 1687 which was revised again in 1713 and 1726.In 1704,He published "Opticks" and a revised edition of this in 1706."The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended(1728),"The System of the World"(1728) showed his posthumously published writings.

During his final stages of life he took up residence at Cranbury Park, near Winchester with niece family until his death in 1727.His hair was investigated and found it contains mercury which explains Newton's eccentricity in late life.
