Isaac Newton invented the laws of 

gravitation and the laws of motion. He 

also established a new filed in 

mathematics known as calculus. His 

work has greatly contributed in the 

areas of science and mathematics 

making him one of the most influential 

scientists in the human history.

 Isaac Newton is best known for his 

theory of universal gravitation, his Laws 

of Motion, as well as groundbreaking 

discoveries in mathematics, physics and 

astronomy. 

Born: January 4, 1643

Birthplace: Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, 

England

Died: March 20, 1727

Sir Isaac Newton was an English 

mathematician, astronomer, theologian 

and alchemist considered by many to be 

the most influential scientist that ever 

lived.

Newton built the first practical reflecting 

telescope and developed a theory of 

colour based on the observation that a 

prism decomposes white light into the 

many colours of the visible spectrum. 

He also formulated an empirical law of 

cooling and studied the speed of sound. 

In addition to his work on the calculus, 

as a mathematician Newton contributed 

to the study of power series, 

generalised the binomial theorem to 

non-integer 

 exponents, and developed Newton's 

method for approximating the roots 

of a function.
