Sir Issac Newton, born on Christmas Day 1642 (Julian Calendar), was one of the most formidable minds in history. He was a mathematical and scientific genius, whose labors were responsible for not only for his famous Theory of Gravitation, but also for the branch of mathematics known as Calculus and for a great deal of our early understanding of Optics. In fact, his design for a reflecting telescope remains in use, basically unchanged, to this day. |
