Isaac Newton, a 17th century mathematician, physicists, and creator of the Scientific Revolution, was born on January 4th, 1643 in Woolsthorpe England. His parents were Hannah Ayscough Newton and Isaac Newton. Isaac was named after his father, who had died three months before he was born. At age three his mother had remarried to a minister named Barnabas Smith and had three other children.

Newton's mother was a huge impact on Issac's life and soon reappeared when he was 12, after Hannah's second husband had passed.

During this time, it was found that Isaac had been reading and taking notes about philosophy. These notes were named as the “Quaestiones Quaedam Philosophicae.” These notes reveal that Newton had discovered the new concept of nature that provided the framework for the Scientific Revolution. Later on in Newton’s life he became a professor at Cambridge. During this time is when he accomplished one of his biggest scientific achievements. He was assigned to deliver an annual course of lectures. He chose the topic optics, which is the scientific study of sight and the behavior of light, or the properties of transmission and deflection of other forms of radiation. A part of his study of optics was the aided use of a reflecting telescope. After this remarkable accomplishment, The Royal Society asked for a demonstration of his topic. With Newton knowing that this big organization was interested in his work, it encouraged him to publish his notes in 1672. However, not everyone at the Royal Academy was enthusiastic about Newton's discoveries in
