=Isaac Newton (1642- 1727)=



By Casey Zuccarello and Denzell Conway
Who? •English natural philosopher, generally regarded as the most original and influential theorist in the history of science.
 * 1) Born in 1642
 * 2) His father died before he was born
 * So he lived with his grandmother (when his mom got married again)
 * 1) As a child, he enjoyed constructing models
 * Made a tiny mill, run by a mouse on a wheel to ground flour
 * 1) Sent to Cambridge University (1661)
 * "Failed to shine as a student first"
 * 1) Thought the universe worked like a machine and it had a few simple laws that governed it
 * Used mathematics to explain the laws
 * 1) Made a unified picture on how the universe worked
 * 2) Invented calculus
 * Developed differentiation and integration
 * 1) Returned to Cambridge in 1667 (until 1696)
 * Served as a math professor

Importance: - He is the father of physics

- Created very important laws including the laws of gravity

- Created laws of motions

- Invented Calculus

Believed: - The heliocentric theory

-In Christianity

-Laws of gravity

- Laws of Motion Denzell Conway:

Facts:

•In addition to his invention of the infinitesimal calculus and a new theory of light and color •Newton transformed the structure of physical science with his three laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. •Premature born on Jan 4 in woolsthrope •Classical mechanics are still used today •Supposed to be a farmer but he failed at this and continued to study to go to Cambridge University(birthright •Newton's mom placed Newton with his grandmother in order to remarry and raise a second family with Barnabas Smith, a wealthy rector from nearby North Witham.  •Terrible childhood he was always troubled by not having his mother's attention  •In 1665 Newton took his bachelor's degree at Cambridge without honors or distinction.  Following his apple insight, Newton developed the three laws of motion, which are, in his own words:


 * 1) **Newton's Law of Inertia:** Every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.
 * 2) **Newton's Law of Acceleration:** Force is equal to the change in momentum (mV) per change in time. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration [expressed in the famous equation F = ma].
 * 3) **Newton's Law of Action and Reaction:** For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
