-“sir isaac newton” PRS (/ˈnjuːtən/) was an english ‘mathematician’, ‘astronomer’, and ‘physicist’ (described in his own day as a “natural philosopher”) who is widely recognized as one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the ‘scientific revolution’-
.
(his book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (“Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy”), first published in 1687, laid the foundations of ‘classical mechanics’)
(‘newton’ also made seminal contributions to ‘optics’, and he shares credit with ‘Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’ for developing the ‘infinitesimal calculus’)
(newton’s Principia formulated the laws of ‘motion’ and ‘universal gravitation’ that dominated scientists’ view of the physical universe for the next 3 centuries)
(by deriving Kepler’s laws of ‘planetary motion’ from his mathematical description of ‘gravity’, and then using the same principles to account for the trajectories of ‘comets’, the ‘tides’, the precession of the ‘equinoxes’, and other phenomena, ‘Newton’ removed the last doubts about the validity of the ‘heliocentric model’ of the ‘Solar System’ and demonstrated that the motion of objects on ‘Earth’ and of celestial bodies could be accounted for by the same principles)
(newton’s theoretical prediction that the ‘Earth’ is shaped as an oblate spheroid was later vindicated by the geodetic measurements of ‘Maupertuis’, ‘La Condamine’, and others, thus convincing most Continental European scientists of the superiority of ‘Newtonian mechanics’ over the earlier system of ‘Descartes’)
(‘Newton’ also built the first practical reflecting ‘telescope’ and developed a sophisticated theory of ‘colour’ based on the observation that a ‘prism’ decomposes ‘white light’ into the colours of the ‘visible spectrum’)
(Newton’s work on ‘light’ was collected in his highly influential book Opticks, first published in 1704)
(he also formulated an empirical law of ‘cooling’, made the first theoretical calculation of the speed of ‘sound’, and introduced the notion of a ‘Newtonian fluid’)
(in addition to his work on ‘calculus’, as a mathematician Newton contributed to the study of ‘power series’, generalised the ‘binomial theorem’ to ‘non-integer exponents’, developed a method for approximating the roots of a ‘function’, and classified most of the ‘cubic plane curves’)
(‘Newton’ was a fellow of ‘Trinity College’ and the 2nd ‘Lucasian Professor of Mathematics’ at the ‘University of Cambridge’)
(he was a devout but unorthodox Christian, who privately rejected the doctrine of the ‘Trinity’ and who, unusually for a member of the Cambridge faculty of the day, refused to take ‘holy orders’ in the ‘Church of England’)
(beyond his work on the ‘mathematical sciences’, Newton dedicated much of his time to the study of ‘alchemy’ and ‘biblical chronology’, but most of his work in those areas remained unpublished until long after his death)
(politically and personally tied to the ‘whig party’, ‘newton’ served 2 brief terms as ‘member of parliament’ for the ‘university of cambridge’, ‘in 1689’ – ‘1690’ + ‘1701’ – ‘1702’)
.
(he was knighted by ‘queen anne’ in ‘1705’ and he spent the last 3 decades of his life in ‘london’, serving at the ‘royal mint’ as…)
‘warden’
(1696–1700)
‘master’
(1700–1727)
.
(….as well as ‘president’ of the ‘royal society’)
(‘1703′ –’1727’)
