Biography

Isaac Newton was born 25 December at Woolsthorpe by Colsterworth in the Colsterworth, Lincolnshire England.

He was the only child of:

Isaac's parents were probably married in April (or before). His father died in the October (buried 6 October ) just three months before Newton was born on 25 December at Woolsthorpe manor.^[2]This property had been purchased by Newton's paternal great-great-grandfather, John Newton of Westby, Lincolnshire (bur.

22 Dec Westby).^[1][5]The young Isaac was baptised s/o Isaac & Hannah Newton on the 1st of January /3 at Colsterthorpe (so recorded although his father was deceased)^[6]

In , Isaac Newton's mother remarried to Barnabas Smith, Rector of Witham, Lincolnshire^[2][7]while Newton was left in the care of his maternal grandmother Margaret (Blyth) Ayscough (abtaft) at Woolsthorpe.^[2][8][9]

From his mother's second marriage, Isaac had three half-siblings, who were all named in the will of his maternal grandfather, James Ayscough:^[2][3]

1. Benjamin Smith.^[3]
2. Mary Smith.^[3]
3. Hannah Smith^[3]

Isaac was swiftly passed to the care of his maternal grandmother Margaret (Blyth) Ayscough (abtaft) and it is said that he did not get to know his own mother until he was much older.

Education

Newton began his education at local schools, then attended Grantham grammar school (about 8 miles North of his home). His youthful inventions include a small windmill ^[10], a clock run by water ^[11]and a sundial.^[12]

Late in , near the age of seventeen, his mother called him home from school to take charge of her considerable estate.

The experiment was a disaster. He wanted none of it. He had discovered the world of learning, and there his heart lay.

Isaac was sent to Cambridge by his maternal uncle, William Ayscough, Rector of Burton Coggles, Lincolnshire.

He was admitted to Trinity College in June He graduated in but was not an exceptional student.

He was probably at Woolsthope during the plague in It was around this time when he discovered "gravitational attraction."

During the s he began a series of experiments with sunlight and prisms. He demonstrated that clear white light was composed of seven visible colors.

In , he returned to Cambridge to teach, and became Lucasian Professor of Mathematics in the University of Cambridge in He later invented calculus to explain motion.

His theories made no significant impact until when the English astronomer Edmond Halley, asked him for assistance to explain the motion of planets around the sun.

Halley, however, found that Newton already had a solution, so the astronomer put aside his work to publish Newton's discoveries.

In Newton's discoveries on the laws of motion and theories of gravitation were published in "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), or "Principia."^[13]This book has been considered one of the greatest single contributions in the history of science and laid the foundations of classical mechanics.

Newton's discoveries in optics were equally great. His work on light was collected in his highly influential book "Opticks".^[14]First published in , it laid out the foundation of spectrum analysis and explained why objects are perceived to have color. In he had constructed the first reflecting telescope, and then in he built an improved second model of the reflecting telescope.^[15][16]Later that same year Newton had been requested to send his telescope to the Royal Society to be examined.

Newton's second model arrived in December , and in January of the Royal Society announced that King Charles II as well as prominent members of the Royal Society had inspected the telescope and were much impressed with it.^[15][16]That January Newton was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society.^[16]

Religion & Politics

Newton also dedicated much of his time to the study of alchemy and biblical chronology, but most of his work in those areas remained unpublished until long after his death.

The Lord Somers.

He was a fellow of Trinity College. A devout but unorthodox Christian, he privately rejected the doctrine of the Trinity and refused holy orders in the Church of England.

Politically and personally tied to the Whig party, Newton served two brief terms as Member of Parliament for the University of Cambridge, in –90 and – His motivation appears to be related to a campaign to install a Roman Catholic majority at the university, following the death of Charles II and the succession of James II to the throne.^[17]

In he left Trinity College to settle in London, where spent his last three decades.

He served as Warden (–) and Master (–) of the Royal Mint, as well as president of the Royal Society (–).

Knighthood

In , Newton was knighted by Queen Anne and became the first scientist in Europe so honoured. But before he could be titled, he had to submit an affadavit for knighthood.^[2]

This requirement led to Newton being the one to draw up the chart for the Newton pedigree in ^[1][18]Later on, Newton is said to have doubts about this chart, and apparently there are two family traditions.

The variations are:^[18]

1. descent from John of Westby (as submitted by Newton himself).^[1]
2. or descent from a gentleman of East Lothian in Scotland.^[18]

While Newton seemed to favour the latter variation during c. , antiquarians believed that it was not "as strong" as the pedigree.^[18]

Death

Newton died on 20 March /7 at the age of He was buried at Westminster Abbey.

^[19] His memorial statue in the chapel of Trinity College, Cambridge, England, of which he was a distinguished member, is inscribed "Qui genus humanum ingenio superavit" (He surpassed the race of man in understanding).^[19][20]

He was said to have left a fortune of £27,, including bequests to several Cambridge institutions.

Isaac Newton never married or had children.

Woolsthorpe was inherited by a cousin, but no later member of the family entered Parliament.^[21]

Legacy

Newton continues to be a notable figure, not only in science but also in popular culture, where he features regularly in sci-fi and alternative universe genres.^[22]

The SI unit of force is named after him.

Newton was the last person to feature on the reverse of the £1 note issued by the Bank of England.

Newton was also named in a list of the supposed Grand Masters of the Priory of Sion, an elaborate hoax constructed in France in the s and 60s by Pierre Plantard in an attempt to create a prestigious neo-chivalric order, claiming that the Priory of Sion was "a centuries-long conspiracy to install a secret bloodline of the Merovingian dynasty on the thrones of France and the rest of Europe".

^[23]This eventually was the inspiration for The Da Vinci Code (Dan Brown, ).^[24]Leonardo Da Vinci was also in the list of the supposed Grand Masters of the Priory of Sion.

Research Notes

In the past, contributors have erroneously tried to adjust Newton's birth and death dates to accommodate the change from Julian to Gregorian calendars in with the loss of 11 days in that year.

^[25]The Calendar Act of stipulated that no adjustments were to be made retrospectively to the dates of past events. This article by Thony has previously been used to justify adding a birth date of 4 January and a death date of 31 March , but is incorrect in this proposition.^[26]
