Newton's father died three months before he was born. His mother remarried when he was two years old. Newton was raised by his grandmother from then on. 1 1 years old, his mother's husband died, and Newton returned to his mother. Newton was sent to a public school from about five years old, and entered a middle school at the age of 12. Newton was not a child prodigy when he was a teenager, but his qualifications were average. I like reading some books about how to make simple mechanical models, and I am inspired by them to make some strange gadgets, such as windmills, wooden clocks, folding lanterns and so on. A windmill is being built near the pharmacist's house. Newton himself made a small windmill after understanding the mechanical principle of the windmill. It is not the wind that drives his windmill, but the animals. He tied the mouse to a treadmill with wheels. Then put a corn in front of the wheel, just out of the reach of the mouse. The mouse wants to eat corn, so it keeps running, so the wheel keeps turning. He also made a small water clock. Every morning, small water will automatically drip on his face to wake him up.
Later, forced by life, his mother asked Newton to drop out of school and farm at home. But Newton was not interested in agriculture, so he buried a book whenever he had the chance. Every time, his mother told him to go to the market with her servant and get familiar with the trade business. He begged the servant to go out alone and read a book behind the tree. Once, Newton's uncle became suspicious and followed Newton to the listed town. He found his nephew lying with his legs stretched out I concentrated on a math problem. Newton's thirst for knowledge touched my uncle, so he persuaded his mother to let Newton go back to school. Newton went back to school and eagerly absorbed nutrition from books.
study
Newton/Kloc-entered Cambridge University at the age of 0/9 and became a fee-reducing student at Trinity College. He pays his tuition by doing housework for the university. Here, Newton began to contact a large number of natural science works, and often attended various lectures held by the college, including geography, physics, astronomy and mathematics. Isaac Barrow, Newton's first professor, was a knowledgeable scholar. The scholar had a unique vision and saw that Newton had profound observation and keen understanding.
Newton later recalled, "Dr. Barrow taught courses in kinematics at that time, and perhaps it was these courses that prompted me to study this problem."
Newton taught himself mathematics to a great extent at that time. He studied Euclid's Elements of Geometry, Descartes' Geometry, Wallis' arithmetica infinitorum, Barrow's lectures on mathematics and Veda's works. Among them, Descartes' Geometry and Wallis' arithmetica infinitorum had a decisive influence on Newton and led him to the forefront of mathematics at that time.
Just as Newton was preparing to stay in school for further study, a serious plague swept through Britain, so Cambridge University closed down and Newton left school to return home. The quiet environment in his hometown made his thoughts spread their wings and fly, with the whole universe as a barrier. This short time became the golden age of Newton's scientific career, and his three great achievements: calculus, gravitation and optical analysis were conceived and formed at this time. It can be said that Newton has begun to paint most blueprints of scientific creation in his life.
In his later years, with the improvement of scientific prestige, Newton's political status was also improved. 1689 was elected as a representative of the National Congress University. As a congressman, Newton gradually began to alienate the science that brought him great achievements. From time to time, he expresses his dislike for the field he represents. At the same time, he spent a lot of time arguing with Hooke, Leibniz and other famous contemporary scientists about the priority of science.
Newton lived a splendid life in London in his later years. He was knighted by Queen Anne in 1705. At this time, Newton was very rich and was generally regarded as the greatest scientist alive. He was the chairman of the Royal Society. During his twenty-four years in office, he ruled the society with an iron fist. No one can be elected without his consent.
In his later years, Newton began to devote himself to theological research. He denied the guiding role of philosophy, sincerely believed in God, and buried himself in writing theological books. When he met the inexplicable celestial movement, he put forward the fallacy of "God is the first driving force". He said, "God rules everything, and we are his servants, fearing and worshiping him."
1727 On March 20th, the great isaac newton passed away. Like many other outstanding Englishmen, he was buried in Westminster Abbey. His tombstone is engraved with the words: Let people cheer on how great human glory there was in the world.
