... these few years, he invented calculus, discovered the inverse square law, and did extensive testing on light and its properties. Isaac Newton's findings encompassed many fields. They included optics, mathematics, geometry, theology, philosophy, and chemistry. In the field of optics, or the study of light, Newton discovered that the white light from the sun was not a single entity as previously believed ... 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. Newton loved geometry. At first glance...

... his major involvement in the Manhattan Project, the making of the atom bomb, probably the most destructive weapon known to man. Einstein has one of the most spectacular uses of geometry in his theory of gravitation, also known as the general theory of relativity.Einstein discovered that by considering the properties of space as though it were curved, he could account ... for the effects of gravity of gravity without using the customary "pull" that we intuitively associate with gravity. He found that he could explain the natural world by using geometry. In the general theory of relativit...

... , 1955 at the age of 76. Albert Einstein did not like his school in Germany. His best subjects in school were mathematics and science. At 12 he taught himself Euclidean geometry. Later when he was 17 he entered the Polytechnic in Zurich Switzerland. He did not like the school that much so he often cut classes to study physics and play ... ...

Einstein taught himself integral calculus and analytical geometry. In 1895 Einstein took an examination and he failed, that would had allowed him to study for a diploma as an electrical engineer at the Eidgenossische Technisch Hochschule in Zurich. Failing ... ...
