Sir Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton ( 1643-1724), English physicist. Newton was born at Woolsthorpe Manor in Lincolnshire and was educated at Grantham and at Trinity College Cambridge. In 1665 he discovered the binomial theorem of mathematics. In the same year he returned to Woolsthorpe while the University was closed due to fears of the plague. In the next two years Newton created his three laws of motion, his theories of gravitation and optics and his mathematics of the calculus. In 1687 he published Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in which most of classical mechanics is outlined. In 1704 he published his book Opticks, in which he described the dispersion of white light by a prism and his reflecting telescope among other things. This engraving is from a

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the brilliant mind and remarkable achievements of Sir Isaac Newton, an eminent English physicist who left an indelible mark on the world of science. Born in 1643 at Woolsthorpe Manor in Lincolnshire, Newton's insatiable thirst for knowledge led him to study at Grantham and later at Trinity College Cambridge. In 1665, during a period when the University was closed due to the plague outbreak, Newton retreated to his hometown. It was during this time that he made groundbreaking discoveries such as the binomial theorem of mathematics. Over the next two years, he revolutionized our understanding of motion by formulating his three laws of motion, unraveling theories on gravitation and optics, and developing mathematical concepts like calculus. Newton's monumental work culminated in his publication "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" in 1687. This seminal piece outlined most aspects of classical mechanics and solidified his place as one of history's greatest scientific minds. In 1704, he further expanded our comprehension with "Opticks" a book exploring topics ranging from white light dispersion through prisms to his innovative reflecting telescope. Captured beautifully by Todd-White Art Photography from Science Photo Library, this engraving immortalizes Sir Isaac Newton's legacy – a man whose contributions continue to shape our understanding of physics today.
