Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newton is widely considered in history as the most influential scientist. He is best known for his discovery of gravity and the subsequent laws of motion that he meticulously theorized. School children around the world are acquainted with the popular legend about an apple falling on Newton’s head which led to the famous discovery of gravity. However that colourful story and the preoccupation with Newton’s work in physics tends to make people forget Newton’s work in other fields. This biography captures both the personal life as well as the career of Isaac Newton devoted entirely to scientific pursuit. It presents a complete picture of Newton the man, the scientist, the philosopher, the theologian and the public figure. Newton was very religious, and intently studied the Bible and even occult practices and theories. Newton wrote at length on these subjects, which fascinated him so much that he spent more time writing about them than he did science and mathematics. This biography is an interesting journey through his life shedding light on a personality which towers the scientific world to this day.

Download or read book The Correspondence of Isaac Newton written by Isaac Newton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1978-02-02 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this seventh and final volume the letters are divided into two quite distinct groups. The first group begins with the remaining letters of the main chronological sequence written during the closing years of Newton's life, and then proceeds to those few letters to which there is no assignable date with any certainty. The second group of letters, placed in Appendix I, contains corrections and additions to the letters printed in the earlier volumes of the Correspondence. A genealogical table is added to Appendix II to help the reader through the intricacies of Newton's family tree. Even after the creative power of his genius had deserted him, Newton retained to the very end of his long life the characteristic clarity of his thought. Few of Newton's letters in this volume may justly be described as scientific. The relative inactivity of the Mint meant that, although he apparently delegated few of his responsibilities to others, Newton's concerns there were no onerous. Thus it is not surprising that in the last nine years of his life (the period covered in this volume), and particularly from 1725 onwards, there was a decrease in Newton's output of letters; but those which he did write remain as lucid as ever.
