SIR ISAAC NEWTONEdi Horvat 2.ckTrgovaka kola ZagrebTeacher: Gabrijela orkovi

He was born on the Christmas Day,25 December 1642He was born three months after his fathers deathWhen Newton was three his mother remarriedShe 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, GranthamThey taught him Latin but no mathematicsHe 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 himNewton hated farming

WHEN HE GREW UPIsaac Newton was an English scientist,mathematician and natural philosopherHe played vital role in the scientific revolution and established a legacy that would dominate sciences for the next three centuriesAs 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 1687In it he formulated his Three Laws of Motion

THE FIRST LAWKnown as the law of inertiaLaw 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 forceTHE SECOND LAWThe second law says that Acceleretion is produced when a force acts on a mass

THE THIRD LAWThe 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 treeThis 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 seriesGeneralized the binomial theorem to non-integer exponentsDeveloped Newtons method for approximating the roots of a function And he classified most of the cubic plane curvesThese discoveries represented a huge leap foward for the fields of math,physics and astronomyIn 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 alchemyMost of his work in these sareas remained unpublished until long after his deathSO WHAT DID SIR ISAAC NEWTON DISCOVER?Theories that would dominate the fields of science,astronmy,physics and the natural world for centuries to comeHis ideas would go on to influende such luminaries as Joseph-Louis Lagrange and Albert Einstein
