Although Isaac had to fund his learning himself, by acting as a servant to wealthier students, he still got the excellent education he deserved. Barrow, himself a great mathematician himself, had yet to recognize Newtons genius. -
New teacher
Newton met Isaac Barrow, who was a very inteligent teacher of mathemathics that introduced him into the scientific world of mathematics and physics. -
Light, colours and waves
He discovered that the liight is made of seven colours, and it moves in straight line; also told about reflectons, refractions and the dispersion of the light.
He made the book "Opticks" with the recopilation of the experiments. -
Elected into Royal Society
Newton was added to the Royal Society, a group that focused mainly on scientific matters, in 1672. This was a very honorable title to have. and in 1669, before his 27th birthday, he suceeded Issac Barrow as professor of mathematics. -
Universal Gravitational Law
He made this law that is very important because it says that we are atracted to the Earth because of the gravity. -
Dinamic Laws
He made the three dinamic laws of modern physics -
Publishing of Principia
He published his first book that is one of the most important in the world of science. The Principia was a collection of 3 books. They explained Newtons laws of motion, Newtons law of universal gravity, and great detail about planetary orbits. The Principia is highly regarded as a major book in the history of Science. -
Newton named Master of the Mint
For 30 years, Isaac Newton was the warden and maser of the Royal Mint. This job made Newton very wealthy and gave him much more political power. His position at the Mint ensured a comfortable social and economic status. -
Publication of Opticks
In 1704, Isaac had finally published a magnificant book on his works with the study of light, how white light was all colors, and his experiments with prisms. This did begin a feud with Leibniz, that would go on for much longer. Later work focused on diffraction of light (he used a prism to discover white light is made up of a spectrum of colors). -
Newton Becomes a Knight
In 1705, Queen Anne knighted Isaac. Newton was made a knight not for his battle skills, but for his great cleverness and all his amazing accomplishments. HIs thinking alone granted him power which was very impressive. -
