History
His life and work laid the foundations of modern physics and mathematics. Throughout his career, Newton developed fundamental theories that transformed our understanding of the natural world. He is best known as the author of "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica," a work that outlines the principal laws of natural philosophy, establishing the principles that govern motion and gravity. -
Descubriments
At just 23 years old, Isaac Newton saw in isolation the opportunity and time to think about several areas: the development of optics, classical mechanics, the discovery of differential calculus and the law of universal gravitation -
Contributions
Among his most significant contributions are the laws of motion and the concepts of the conservation of momentum and angular momentum in the field of mechanics. -
Death
These ideas have been crucial not only in physics but also in engineering and other scientific areas. Newton passed away on March 20, 1727, in Kensington, leaving a legacy that continues to influence multiple disciplines.
