Newton, Sir Isaac (1642 -1727), was a physicist and mathematician who is the most well-known scientist for the Theory of Universal Gravitation, his theories in optics and his Laws of Motion.  His work with calculus was also well-recognized.

Isaac Newton was born prematurely on December 25, 1642; three months after his father (Isaac Newton) had passed away. When he was three, his mother, Hannah Ayscough, married Barnabas Smith (a Christian minister) and moved to the next village.

When he was 5 years old, his mother gave birth to his step-sister, Mary Smith.  In 1651 his mother gave birth to his step-brother, Benjamin Smith and in 1652, gave birth to another step-sister, Hannah Smith Pilkington. Newton was raised by his grandmother until his mother came back to Woolsthorpe, bringing with her three younger children.

1n 1654 Newton went to Grantham to attend grammar school. He lived with the local apothecary, and it was here that he became interested in chemicals.

He returned to the family when he turned seventeen as he had been expected to run the farm, but found no success as a farmer.

Isaac Newton entered Trinity College at Cambridge in 1661 and for the first three years waited on tables and cleaned rooms of wealthier students and the faculty to pay his tuition. When elected a scholar in 1664, he was guaranteed financial support for four years. The school closed in the summer of 1665 because of the plague that was spreading through Europe and Newton went home for the two years where he devoted his time studying physics and mathematics. He later claimed that it was during this time that he was able to first understand gravity.
Newton never married and was very generous with his nieces and nephews.

In his later years Newton suffered recurring bladder stones and there was some evidence to suggest he suffered mercury poisoning from his alchemical experiments. In his last days of life he was immobile in bed and he defied the church refusing last rites when he passed away on March 31, 1727. After he was buried, his body was exhumed so he could be in a more prominent location in Westminster Abbey. During the exhumation process it was discovered that his body contained large quantities of mercury.

Several of Newton’s writings were published after his death, including:
• 1728: The Systems of the World
• 1728: The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended
• 1773: Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St John
• 1733: The first draft of Principia, Book III
