Sir Isaac Newton was a pivotal English figure in the Scientific Revolution who
formulated the laws of motion, the theory of universal gravitation, and independently
developed the mathematical framework of calculus.
He was born in 1642 (1643 Gregorian) in Lincolnshire, England, Newton attended
Cambridge University. His most creative period was the 1665-1666 "plague years"
when he worked intensely on his groundbreaking theories. Isaac was a leading figure
in the Scientific Revolution, becoming president of the Royal Society of London and
the first scientist to be knighted.

Sir Isaac Newton made fundamental
contributions to mathematics and science,
most notably developing the laws of motion, the
theory of universal gravitation, and calculus, all
of which are detailed in his seminal work,
Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica
(1687). His research also included significant
work in optics, explaining that white light is a
composite of all colors of the spectrum, and he
invented the reflecting telescope.

Isaac Newton's contributions have numerous everyday applications,
including seatbelts in cars (inertia), walking and rocket propulsion
(action-reaction), and aerodynamics (airfoils), all explained by his laws
of motion and universal gravitation. His work in calculus and optics,
such as the invention of the refracting telescope, also have significant
practical uses in science and technology. His work on planetary motion
through universal gravitation is a fundamental concept for astronomy
and space exploration.
