INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF SIR ISAAC NEWTON

CAREER AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Newton attended King's school, where he emerged the top-ranked student by constructing sundials and windmill models. He gained admission into Trinity college in June 1661. In 1664, he was granted a scholarship due to his brilliance. In August 1665, he obtained hus Bachelor's degree after which came the Great plague. In 1667, he returned to Cambridge where he was elected a fellow of Trinity, but he avoided being a priest as the rules required. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1672. Some of his outstanding works and inventions are as follows:

1. Discovery of gravity
2. He propounded the three laws of motion and it states that

▪︎ An object will remain at rest or moving in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
▪︎ When force is applied to an object, it will accelerate.
▪︎ For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

1. He made the laws of planetary motion
2. He built the first telescope
3. He propounded the laws of refraction of light
4. Other works of his can be found here

WHY NEWTON

I chose Newton because of certain qualities he possess which are vital for every scientist to thrive

1. He was a very brilliant student and emerged at the top
2. He was very creative and it distinguished him from others
3. He persevered in his pursuit and knew what he wanted. Perseverance in the face of failure is the key to success
4. He was an all-rounder, an alchemist, a physicist , a mathematician, he nearly became a priest
5. Even though he was born premature, it didn't dictate his fate in life. He knew what he was made of and used it to his advantage.
6. He was a very humble man and it can be seen in his quote which I love so much ever since I came across it and it says:

"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants"
