This biography is about famous Sir Isaac Newton. He is famous for a variety of things, such as inventing his own calculus, making a better telescope using a mirror, and creating today’s now famous Newton’s 3 laws of physics. That just shows you how intelligent he is.
Newton was born in Hamlet on Christmas Day, 1642. In his young years, from age 12 to 17, he went to the King’s School in Grantham, England. Later in 1659, he got pulled out and went to Wollsthorpe where his mother tried to make him a farmer. But he hated farming. After his mother was persuaded to let Newton go back to school, he worked up to top student. There they found out that he had Asperger syndrome which makes people use weird wording in sentences and have a physical clumsiness. In June, 1661, Newton went to Trinity College in Cambridge as a sizar. There he was taught the ways similar to Aristotle’s teachings. While working he found a binomial theorem, and he worked until he had made a theory of infinitesimal calculus. Later in 1665, the Great Plague struck and the college closed. Back in his private area he saw his theories and ideas grow extraordinarily.
In his middle years, Trinity College reopened in 1667, and Newton went back welcomed as a fellow of Trinity. He focused on enhancing many theories in math during his time. Three years had passed, and he changed his focus to optics and the refraction of light. He discovered that no matter how spread, scattered, or refracted light was it held the same colors. Based on his studies, Newton created a better telescope using a mirror. Today it is known as the Newtonian Telescope.
As an older man, he became a member of the English Parliament for a year. Later, he moved to a place in London where he would take the job of warden for the Royal Mint. Then he changed jobs again, and he became an employee of England’s great re-coining system. After the death of the previous Master of the Mint in 1699, Newton took his place.
After all that, Newton moved in with his niece in 1705. There he stayed until death. March 31st, 1727 was the day he died in his slumber at the age of 85. One thing is sure about Isaac, he will always be one of the most famous people in all of history!!!
