Sir Isaac Newton

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


This paper explains that Sir Isaac Newton advanced a whole new system of mathematics, including systems of physics and calculus,
which were revolutionary during his time and continued to be observed long after his death. The author points out that one of Newton's most significant contributions is his basic laws of motion often call Newton's Laws. The paper relates Isaac Newton would never have described himself as a 'scientist' because the word was not coined until more than a century after his death; he was a reclusive Hebrew scholar and Classicist who wrote more about alchemy and theology than the natural world, and his posthumous reputation is riddled with contradictions.
