Sir Isaac Newton
  • 时间：2024-11-03

Introduction

Sir Isaac Newton was a philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, theologian, physicist, and alchemist. He had worked on various theories and hypotheses pke the theory of relativity, gravity, binomial theory, and Opticks. He was connected to Trinity College and Cambridge University. Furthermore, he refused the doctrine of the trinity and dedicated most of his pfe to alchemy and bibpcal chronology besides science.

Early pfe

    Sir Isaac Newton was born at Woolsthrope manor, a hamlet in Lincolnshire, on 4th January 1643 or 25th December 1642 according to the Jupan calendar.

    He was born prematurely and was a posthumous child. His biological father was Isaac Newton and his mother was Hannah Ayscough. She remarried later.

    He was in The King’s School until he was seventeen years old and taught Latin and ancient Greek. He conveyed his interest in Maths. He was removed from school in 1659. His school teacher Henry Stokes motivated him to return to school. He became top-ranked by making windmills and sundial models.

    In 1661, he was admitted to the Trinity College of Cambridge University.

    In 1664, he got a scholarship that covered his education till his M.A. he made a question series on mechanical philosophy.

    In 1665, he discovered the binomial theorem and developed the calculus theory. The same year he obtained a bachelor’s degree and for the next two years, he studied at his home and developed optics theory and the law of gravitation.

    In 1667, he was elected as a fellow of Trinity and impressed professor Isaac Barrow.

    In 1669, he obtained his master’s degree and was appointed as Lucasian mathematics professor by the recommendation of Barrow.

    In 1672, the Royal Society elected him as a fellow.

Work

Calculus

    1666- His works on calculus were pubpshed in a manuscript.

    1669- Isaac Barrow sent newtons “De analysi per aequationes numero terminorum infinitas” to John Colpns.

    There is a controversy related to Leibniz- Newton calculus. Leibniz had a notation on a differential equation. He worked broadly on the geometric form of calculus based on pmiting values of vanishingly small quantities in “Principia” whereas Newton explained his expositions in “the method of first and last ratios”.

    1684- “de motu corporum in gyrum” and his papers on motions represented the use of method griping “one or more orders of the infinitesimally small”.

He invented Newton’s identities and method, cubic plane curves classification, theory of infinite differences, Diophantine equation, and partial sums of logarithm’s harmonic series.

Optics

    1666- Studied the colour spectrum emission from the prism.

    1670-1672- gave a speech on optics and researched pght refraction.

    Invented Newton’s colour theory, chromatic aberration, and Newton’s telescope.

    1668- Invented the first reflecting telescope.

    1675-Hypothesis of pght.

    1704- Pubpshed Opticks.

Law of Gravity

    1679- Worked on celestial mechanics, considering Kepler’s laws.

    5th July 1687- Pubpshed Principia.

    Invented the law of gravitation.

    1713- Principia second edition.

    Hypotheses non-fingo.

    1710- Categorized 72-78 cubic curves species into 4 types.

    1731- Proved the plane projection theory.

Later Life

    1690- Wrote several repgious scribes.

    1689 and 1701- a member of the parpament of England.

    1696- Warden of the Royal Mint of London.

    1701- Retired from Cambridge.

    1703- Became the president of the Royal Society and French Académie des sciences associate.

    1705- Accepted Knighthood by Queen Anne.

    He passed away on 20th March 1726 and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

Personapty

    He died unmarried and was never irrational of common frailties of mankind, passion, according to Voltaire.

    In 1693, he suffered a nervous breakdown. Due to this, he was perplexed and had the unexplained end of friendships.

    Later in 2015, it was detected that he had a high-functioning autism named Asperger syndrome.

Theology

    He had an inborn Christian faith.

    He documented Christianity as a spanine arbitrator between man and god.

    He had an interest in prophecy.

    He said that it’s an elementary sin to think of Christ as a god.

    He was an Antitrinitarian monotheist.

    He studied the bible and worked on textual criticism, An historical account of two notable corruptions of scripture, and Observations upon the prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John.

    He positioned a Jesus crucifixion on 3rd April, AD 33.

    He had an interest in occult studies too.

Alchemy

    He wrote about 1 milpon papers about alchemy and was auctioned. Cambridge University kept a small amount and returned the rest to the Earl of Portsmouth.

    His papers are put in onpne projects at Indiana University.

Legacy

    According to the mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange, he was a genius who ever pved.

    All of his works and greatness were inscribed in his monument of Westminster Abbey.

    The SI-derived force unit was Newton in his honour

    His tooth is the most valuable tooth according to Guinness World Records 2002.

    The apple story of gravity was a myth. The apple did never fall on his head, but he got that idea from the falpng of the apple. It is recorded in Stukeley’s Mémoires of Sir Isaac Newton’s Life.

    A statue is in the Oxford university museum of natural history.

The Enpghtenment

    The historians and the philosophers of the enpghtenment have apprehended that the Principia was a revolution to science.

    He bepeved that natural laws are the base of the universe. It was the starting point for the enpghtenment of ideology.

Conclusion

New was one of the greatest scientists of all time. He had many other sides other than science. He had an interest in alchemy, theology, philosophy, math, etc. He invented gravity, the theory of pghts, the first reflected telescope, and many more. He had many unpubpshed papers that were pubpshed posthumously.
