  1. Isaac Newton

  2. Isaac Newton was a famous English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author. He has made many contributions to society through his studies. I believe the one he is most famous for is his discovery of gravity.

  3. http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Isaac_Newton This website explains many aspects of Isaac Newtons life. This website explained that Newton’s most popular discovery was the pull of gravity. This answered my question of Isaac Newton’s most important contribution. Isaac Newton studied Descartes, Galileo, Copernicus, and Kepler. This answered my question of who was Isaac Newton’s inspiration. This website is open to anyone to change it as long as there is a reference. This makes this a some what reliable source. The fact that it website end in .org also indicates that it is some what reliable. The editors are a group of people.

  4. Explorable.com/Isaac-newton “While most of us remember Newton as the discoverer of gravity, his research included mathematics, optics and philosophy in a revisiting of the great polymaths of old, a body of research that led him to create his great opus.” (Shuttleworth) This quote reinforces my point that the discovery of gravity was the largest contribution to society. This website is seems reliable because it is not alterable and is from an educational website. Martyn Shuttleworth is an educated person that writes many papers on scientific and historical subjects. This website ends in .com, so the website is somewhat reliable.

  5. www.biography.com/people/Isaac-newton-9422656 “Although his discoveries were among many made during the Scientific Revolution. Isaac Newton’s universal principals of gravity found no parallels in science at the time.” This is another passage proving that the discovery of gravity was a huge contribution to society. This source is somewhat reliable. This is proven by the website ending in .com. There is changes to the original, but references must be listed to make a change.

  6. http://www.newton.ac.uk/about/isaac-newton/life “He calculated the force needed to hold the Moon in orbit, as compared with the force pulling on object to the ground.” (Hall) This source explains the importance of learning about gravity and how it effects other studies like astronomy. This source is reliable because it is from an educational website. Alfred Rupert Hall was English philosopher and mathematician.

  7. Explorable.com/Isaac-newton “Newton followed on Aristotle, Avicenna, Frances Bacon in shaping the scientific method and creating a model that dictated how the universe worked.” (Shuttleworth) This source introduces Isaac Newton’s motivations and inspirations. This website is seems reliable because it is not alterable and is from an educational website. Martyn Shuttleworth is an educated person that writes many papers on scientific and historical subjects. This website ends in .com, so the website is somewhat reliable.

  8. www.Britannica.com/biology/isaacnewton “Like thousands of other undergraduates, Newton began his higher education by immersing himself in Aristotle’s work.” (Westfall) “Newton discovered the works of the French natural philosopher René Descartes” (Westfall) “ ‘Amicus Plato amicus Aristoteles magisamica veritas’ (‘Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my best friend is truth’”). (Westfall) This source lists a few of the influences that helped Isaac Newton become the intellect that he was. This source is reliable because it is an educational website and is non changeable. Richard S. Westfall was a professor of history of science.

  9. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmond_Halley “Halley’s interest led Newton to demonstrate the relationship afresh, to compose a brief tract on mechanics, and finally to write the Principia.” This article is about one of Isaac Newton’s closest friends and colleagues. He was an inspiration to Newton to publish his discoveries. This website is not a reliable source. The contents are easily manipulated by anyone that might want to change them. The website is monitored by a group of people.

  10. Conclusion In conclusion there are many websites that confirm Newton’s discovery of gravity was his most memorable discovery. This subject has been written about by scholars and in non-formal educational websites. I enjoyed learning his influences and his colleagues that helped him and encouraged him to publish his work.
