Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727) was an English physicist, mathematician, and astronomer. His work laid the groundwork for much of modern physics and astronomy.
Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England in 1642. He attended Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied mathematics and physics.
Newton's laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation revolutionized our understanding of the physical world. He also co-invented calculus, which is now a fundamental tool in mathematics and science.
Newton's influence on science and philosophy has been profound. His work continues to inspire researchers and thinkers today.
