Newton was born in Thorpe, urs, a small town in Lincolnshire, England, on14. Newton was a premature baby, weighing only 3 pounds at birth. The midwife and his relatives feared that he might not survive. Newton's father died three months before he was born. When he was 2 years old, his mother remarried to a priest and left Newton to be raised by his grandmother. Newton 1 1 year. His mother's stephusband died, and her mother returned to Newton with her son and two daughters.
Newton was taciturn and stubborn since childhood, which may come from his family situation. Newton showed great mechanical talent in his childhood. He has a pair of very dexterous hands.
Newton was sent to a public school from about the age of five. He is clever, but he is always careless about his lessons, which doesn't attract special attention at school. Newton, on the other hand, likes reading books and books introducing various simple methods of making mechanical models. Inspired by them, he made some strange gadgets by himself, such as windmills, wooden clocks, folding lanterns and so on.
When Newton 12 years old, he was admitted to Grantham Middle School not far from home. Newton's mother had hoped that he would become a farmer, but Newton himself had no such intention, but he loved reading. With the growth of age, Newton's love for books became stronger and stronger. At this time, he likes to meditate and do small scientific experiments.
Newton, who was 18 years old, entered Cambridge University, where he quickly mastered the knowledge of science and mathematics at that time and soon began to conduct independent research. He laid the foundation of scientific theory between 2/kloc-0 and 27 years old, and completely changed the world that followed.
Newton returned to his hometown after graduation and began to engage in scientific research. Among all Newton's scientific contributions, mathematical achievements occupy a prominent position. The first creative achievement in his mathematical career was the discovery of binomial theorem. According to Newton's own memory, he discovered this theorem in the winter between 1664 and 1665, while studying Dr. Wallis' arithmetica infinitorum, and tried to modify his series of finding the area of a circle.
The establishment of calculus is Newton's most outstanding mathematical achievement. In order to solve the problem of motion, Newton created this mathematical theory which is directly related to physical concepts. Newton called it "flow counting", which deals with some problems, including tangent problem, quadrature problem, instantaneous speed problem, maximum and minimum value of function and so on.
But Newton's most important discovery is in mechanics, which is the science of studying the motion of objects. Galileo invented the first law of motion, which describes the motion of an object without external force. Of course, in reality, all objects are subjected to external forces, and the most important problem in mechanics is how objects move in this case, so Newton's most famous second law of motion solves this problem, which may naturally become the most basic law in classical physics.
With the improvement of scientific prestige, Newton's political status has also been improved. 1689 was elected as a university representative in the National Assembly. Newton lived a rich life in London in his later years. 1705, he was made an aristocrat by Queen Anne.
On March 20, 2008, the science superstar Newton fell, and he was buried in Westminster Abbey after his death.
