- 2. Inventions and Inventors ” If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants” Sir Isaac Newton Scientist and Mathematician 1642-1727 Isaac Newton is clearly the most influential scientist ever lived. His accomplishments in mathematics, optics, and physics laid the foundations for modern science and revolutionized the world.
- 3. Inventions and Inventors Newton was educated at Trinity college , Cambridge where he lived from 1661 to 1696. During his period he produced the bulk of his work in mathematics. On 1696 he was appointed Master of the Royal Mint, and moved to London, where he resided until his death. As mathematician, Newton invented integral calculus, and jointly whith Leibniz, differential calculus. He also calculated a formula for finding
- 4. Inventions and Inventors The velocity of sound in gas which was later corrected by Laplace. Newton made a huge impact on theoretical astronomy. He defined the Laws of motion and universal gravitation which he used to predict precisely the motions of stars, and the planets around the sun. Using his discoveries in optics, Newton constructed the first reflecting telescope.
- 5. Newton foud science a hodgepodge of isolated facts and laws , capable of describing some phenomena, but
- 6. Inventions and Inventors predicting only a few. He left it with a unified system of laws to make exact predications. Newton published his work in two books, namely ”Opticks” and ”Principia”. Newton died in London on March 20, 1727 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, the first scientist to be accorded this honor. A review of an encyclopedia of science will reveal at least two to three
- 7. Inventions and Inventors times more references to Newton than any other individual scientist. An 18 th century poem written by Alexander Pope about Sir Isaac Newton states it best:
- 8. ” Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night:
- 9. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light.”
