Isaac Newton (1642 -
1727). The main part of Newton's life passed
in the college of Saint Triple in Cambridge
University. He loved solitude and hated the
scientific discussions, that is why Newton
avoided the publication of his works. He loved to
think and to compose. In his solitude this man
made a revolution in science, concerning a human
being and nature. He created a language of
classical science, which it has been thinking and
speaking three centuries already. During 1665 -
1667 Newton made his three main discoveries the
method of fluxings and quadratures (differential
and integral calculus, explanation of the light
nature and the law of gravitation). His works
were begun with optics Newton considered all
over again Decart's system of the world where the
nature of optical occurrences and gravitation
just the same. But Decart's whirlwinds were not
coordinated with Kepler's laws and comets
movement. "The real philosophy" of Decart was not
proved mathematically.

In 1668 Newton built the first reflecting
telescope. The big lens telescope gave indistinct
image with painted edges. Newton explained this
in such a way. A lens like a prism decomposes the
light into spectrum. The scientist considered
this problem indisolved and suggested a mean
against chromatic aberration a mirror must be
used instead of objective lens. The light from
the star passed to the mirror, reflected on the
prism and then to the side of the telescope where
the eye-piece was fixed. The telescope was
compact a mirror - 30 mm, the tube length - 160
mm, it gave a very distinct image though not
bright. In 1680 Newton returned to the mechanics
and gravitation problems. That year a very bright
comet appeared. Newton observed it and calculated
the orbit of the comet. He was the author of the
gravitation law and its consequences. Isaac
Newton died when he was 84 at night the 31st of
May,1727. He was solemnly buried in Westminster
Abbey. This is an epitaph on his tomb "He is sir
Isaac Newton buried, an aristocrat, having divine
intellect he was the first who proved the planets
and comets movement and oceans rising tides with
the torch of mathematic...".

Physics
Isaac's mind was also busy with refraction or the
bending of light. He was experimenting with his
lenses. He had been an experimenter, who liked to
put his Thought to proof, he studied the
beautiful colours in soap bubbles, the resistance
of the air, the law of gravitation.

Astronomy
He wanted particularly to understand the events
that took place naturally in the world around
him-motions of planets and comets, the changing
of the tides.

Chemistry
And for relaxation, he always turned to alchemy
the recombining of one natural substance info
another which, while it was not a science, was
the forerunner of modern chemistry. He wanted to
understand the transmitting or changing of one
metal into another.

Mathematics
Isaac worked out a basic formula, or rule, which
has been used ever since in mathematics. Today we
call it the binomial theorem a binomial is any
two numbers connected by the plus () sign or
minus (-) sign.
Scientists with an understanding of mathematics
substitute the numbers they have for the letters,
and follow the multiplication signs and the plus
and minus signs of the formula. By so doing, they
can get correct answers to their problems simply
and quickly.
