Sir Isaac Newton (January 4, 1643 - March 31, 1727) was an English physicist and mathematician. He is famous for his work on the laws of motion, optics, gravity, and calculus. He was born in Lincolnshire, England. He started his education at the The King's School, Grantham. After a few years, his mother called him back to his home and asked him to do farming. But, his teacher begged for Isaac to come back to his school. So, after one year he did so. Later, he wrote a paper called the Principia Mathematica which became very famous.
