Isaac Newton is an English scientist, historian, physicist, mathematician and alchemist. He was born into a farmer's family in Woolstorpe. Newton's father died before his birth. Mother soon after the death of her beloved husband married a priest a second time, who lived in a neighboring town, and moved to him. Isaac Newton, a brief biography of which is written below, and his grandmother remained in Woolstorpe. With this emotional shock, some researchers explain the scientist’s bile and unsociable nature.
At the age of twelve, Isaac Newton entered the Grantham School, in 1661 - at the Trinity College of the Holy Trinity of the University of Cambridge. To make money, a young scientist performed the duties of servants. The mathematics teacher in college was I. Barrow.
During the plague epidemic in 1665-1667, Isaac Newton was in his native village. These years were the most productive in his scientific work. It was here that he developed ideas that subsequently led Newton to create a mirror telescope (Isaac Newton made it himself in 1668) and to the discovery of the law on gravity. Here he also conducted experiments consisting in the decomposition of light.
In 1668, the scientist was awarded a master's degree, and a year later Barrow transferred his department (physical and mathematical) to him. Isaac Newton, whose biography is of interest to many researchers, occupied her until 1701.
In 1671, Isaac Newton invented his second mirror telescope. He was bigger and better than the previous one. For contemporaries, the demonstration of this telescope made a very strong impression. Soon after, Isaac Newton was elected a member of the royal society. At the same time, he presented to the scientific community his research on the new theory of colors and light, which provoked sharp disagreements with Robert Hooke.
Isaac Newton also developed the basis of mathematical analysis. This became known from the correspondence of European scientists, although the scientist himself did not publish a single record on this subject. In 1704, the first publication on the basics of analysis was published, and a complete guide came out in 1736, posthumously.
In 1687, Isaac Newton published his huge work “The Beginnings of Mathematical Natural Philosophy” (the short name is “Beginnings”), which became the basis of all mathematical science.
In 1965, Isaac Newton became the Mint overseer. This was facilitated by the fact that once a scientist was interested in the transmutation of metals and alchemy. Newton led the re-minting of all English coins. It was he who put in order the coinage of England, which until then remained in a disordered form. For this, in 1966, the scientist received the lifetime title of director of the English court, which at that time was highly paid. In the same year, Isaac Newton became a member of the Paris Academy of Sciences. In 1705, the great Queen Anna, for his grandiose scientific work, elevated him to the rank of knight.
In the last years of his life, Newton devoted much time to theology, as well as biblical and ancient history. The great scientist was buried in the national English pantheon - Westminster Abbey.
