Isaac Newton was born on Christmas day, December 25, 1642 in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire. He was born prematurely and not expected to live past the age of one. His parents were Isaac Newton, his father, and Hanna Aysough Newton, his mother. His father died just a few months before his birth. At the age of two, his mother moved out with his stepfather and left him with his grandmother. In 1651, when Newton was nine, his mother came back after the death of her second husband and took Isaac Newton back. The results of this separation were very significant in his attitude. He became very secretive, aggressive, and did not take any form of criticism well. At age 11 he began going to King’s School in Grantham. He also worked on the farm and many assumed he would continue as his family had done for generations. But his mother decided that he would go to college because she recognized his intelligence in the small inventions he made in his free time.

Isaac Newton went to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1661 and began his college career. He was poor and had to work to earn enough money to pay for his education. He gradu

During Isaac Newton's times, the late 1600’s to early 1700s, religion was very important in everyday life, much more so then it is today. For this reason, he investigated theology, the study of religion. He did have some skepticism towards some of the parts of the bible and slightly different interpretations then others, but many scientists at the time did. He wrote about his opinions towards the bible, but never published them.

Newton spent a lot of time with mathematics in his earlier years. He invented a new form of math known as calculus. This is still being taught at high levels in high school and in most colleges which demonstrates how advanced his thinking was. He also discovered the inverse square law which applies to all matter and deals with what precisely is the strength of the attraction between two objects is and how it varies. The law simply states that all objects are attracted to each other inversely proportionate to their distance from one another. Basically, that the closer the objects, the larger the force of gravity, and that the larger the mass, the larger the pull is. Also, he wrote many equations for curved graphs, which were called fluxions. His work was published only after intense antagonism from his friend Edmund Halley, in 1687. The book was called Principia, and is now his most famous work. In it was also his three laws of motion.
