Sir Isaac Newton was considered as one of the most influential English mathematicians and physicists who ever lived. He was born on 25 December, 1642 in Lincolnshire, England. When people think about Isaac Newton, they relate him to a person sitting under an apple tree and watching an apple falling on the ground. Interestingly, this incident helped him to discover the force of gravity. He invented infinitesimal calculus and a new theory of light and colour. Apart from this, the three laws of motion by Newton changed the entire structure of physical science. During the later years of his life, Newton penned various religious tracts that related to the interpretation of the Bible. During the years from 1689 to 1690 and 1701, he also remained as the member of the Parliament of London. Although Newton was very modest about his achievement yet from the world-known French mathematicians to English poets, all had only praises about his work.
On 20 March, 1727, he died while asleep, leaving behind some of the most remarkable discoveries in various fields.
