SIR
ISAAC
NEWTON
Edi Horvat 2.ck
Trgovaka kola Zagreb
Teacher: Gabrijela orkov
He was born on the Christmas Day,25
December 1642
He was born three months after his
fathers death
When Newton was three his mother
remarried
She went to live with her new
housband,leaving his son in the care of
his maternal grandmother
From age twelve until he was seventeen,
Newton was educated at The Kings School,
Grantham
They taught him Latin but no mathematics
He was removed from school and by
October 1659 he was to be found at
Woolshorpe-by-Colsetrworth, where his
mother widowed for second time,attempted
to make a farmer of him
Newton hated farming
WHEN HE GREW UP
Isaac Newton was an English
scientist,mathematician and natural
philosopher
He played vital role in the scientific
revolution and established a legacy that
would dominate sciences for the next
three centuries
As a result Newton is regarded as one of
the most influential scholars in the history
of science
WHAT DID HE EXACTLY
DISCOVER?
His magnum opus Philosophiae
Naturalis Principia Mathematica
(Mathematical Princaples of Natural
Philosophy) which was first published
in 1687
In it he formulated his Three Laws of
Motion
THE FIRST LAW
Known as the law of inertia
Law says that An object at rest will
remain at rest unless acted on by an
unbalanced force. An object in
motion continues in motion with the
same speed and n the same direction
unless acted upon by an unbalanced
force
THE SECOND LAW
The second law says that
Acceleretion is produced when a
force acts on a mass
THE THIRD LAW
The third law says that For every
action, there is an equal but opposite
reaction
Though Newtons inspiration for his
gravity are often attributed to the
APPLE INCIDENT where he watched
an apple fall from the tree
This story is considered apocryphal
by modern sources who argue that
he came to his conclusions over time
In the terms of mathematics, he
contributed to the study of power
series
Generalized the binomial theorem to
non-integer exponents
Developed Newtons method for
approximating the roots of a
function
And he classified most of the cubic
plane curves
These discoveries represented a
huge leap foward for the fields of
math,physics and astronomy
In 1666 Newton began contributing
to the field of optics
First by observing that color was
property of light by measuring it
through a prism
1670-1672 he lectured at the
University of Cambridge on optics
and investigated the refraction of
light
Beyond his work in
mathematics,optics and physics, he
also devoted a significant amount of
the time studying Biblical chronolgy
and alchemy
Most of his work in these sareas
remained unpublished until long after
his death
SO WHAT DID SIR ISAAC NEWTON
DISCOVER?
Theories that would dominate the
fields of science,astronmy,physics
and the natural world for centuries to
come
His ideas would go on to influende
such luminaries as Joseph-Louis
Lagrange and Albert Einstein
