Sir Isaac Newton is a world renowned mathematician who, because he was not a strict "mathematician", made several contributions to Science, or more specifically, Physics. Just as well he is still famous for his achievements to both subjects. Being the amazing scholar he was, Isaac had no problem juggling both, mainly because both subjects had one thing in common, Math. This essay will explain how Mr. Newton became the man we know him as today, including, his early life, contributions to Mathematics and Physics and how they affect the world today. On December 25th, 1642, one of the greatest mathematicians/scientists of all time was born... Sir Isaac Newton. Mr. Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England; though his father had died …show more content…
He, thankfully, did a terrible job at farming. For example, instead of watching over the cattle, or sheep, he would read books. Because of his unacceptable farming work, he went back to school to receive further education at the King's School in Grantham. Isaac, in school was alike many excelling scientists of his time, a great inventor. Also in class, Isaac was taught to fluently speak Latin, however he was very seldom taught mathematics. In 1661, he went to Trinity College, Cambridge... Though he was noticeably older than the other undergraduates because of the gap of time in his …show more content…
and that was his creation of Calculus. We utilize Calculus much more than we think; possible uses include physics, engineering, economics, statistics, and medicine. Ironically, Isaac studied physics, and much of Calculus is used in Physics... For example, motion, electricity, heat, light, harmonics, acoustics, astronomy, and dynamics are all topics in Physics that require Calculus for formulas, charts/graphs, and etc. Calculus can also be used in other subjects as well, such as Chemistry, (for predicting functions such as reaction rates and radioactive decay), and also in Biology, (for formulating rates such as birth and death
