Britain established some universities in Scotland and Ireland after Oxford and Cambridge. By the end of 18, there were 7 universities. Classical universities centered on Oxford and Cambridge mainly teach classical literature and theology. By the end of 17 and the beginning of 18, the materialism of British philosopher Bacon and Newton's achievements in mathematics and physics had a certain influence on the changes of university teaching content, and lectures on natural science began to be set up. Newton has been a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University for 30 years, making Cambridge a cradle for training first-class mathematicians.
