  2. Background Newton is a very special man and contributed a lot of his work to physics and astronomy. He did not have the most fortunate childhood but that only helped be the man who he was. Newton is most of the reason we are where we are today in physics and mathmatics.

  3. Personal • Born on December, 25, 1642. • Three months later his father passes away. • Sir Isaacs mom left three year old Isaac to his grandma when she remarried. • His mother was widowed again and then took Newton out of school to be a farmer like his father. • He later finished school in despite of being a farmer and went to Trinity College at Cambridge in June of 1661.

  4. Personal (cont.) • Newton graduated Trinity in August 1665 he started his own work on mathematics at his own home and then returned in 1667 to further his studies. • He later wrote many books and the most widely known is Three Laws of Motion. • He never got married or had kids. • Most people thought he had Asperger’s Syndrome. • At the age of 84 Sir Isaac Newton passed away on Thee 20th of march 1727.

  5. Newton's Achievements and Projects • Newton wrote “Principia” in 1687; a book about planetary motion. • Newton studied optics for many years and created the Newton's Theory of Color. • Newton advanced the reflecting telescope for practical use. • Newton later wrote many other books about motion and our solar system.

  6. Three Universal Laws of Motion Newton changed the way we think about physics as a whole and created the infamous laws of motion that we still use today. This is Newton's most important contribution to physics. The three laws are…

  7. The first law of motion states that a object in motion tends to stay in motion unless a external force acts upon it. The second law of motion is about the relationship between force, acceleration and mass. The third and final law: For every action, there is an equal opposite reaction.
