Isaac Newton Research Paper

Isaac Newton, born December 25th, 1642 at Woolsthorpe, a village in southwestern Lincolnshire, England. Newton was a premature baby. His mother and doctors were worried about his survival. His father, Isaac Newton Sr. passed away on October 6th, 1642. It was said that Newton was a descendant of yeoman from both sides of his family, though no official record is available to show any ancestors. When Isaac Newton was three years old, his mother Hannah Ayscough remarried a clergyman named Barnabas Smith. Smith was from North Witham where Newton’s mother moved to after the marriage, leaving Newton in the care of his grandmother, Margery Ayscough. His early childhood had an effect on him. Newton had a sense of insecurity, which led to him defending his published work with irrational behavior. At age twelve, his mother returned, bringing along three children from her second marriage. Newton had been enrolled at the King’s School in Grantham. There he was introduced to chemistry. His mother pulled him out of school to tend to the farm, which he failed at, finding it monotonous. He ended up going back to the King’s School and finished his basic education. At age nineteen, Newton went on to enroll at Trinity College in Cambridge, England. He went on to

June 13, 1676, Newton sent Oldenburg the “Epistola prior” for transmissions to Lelbniz. In this writing, Newton stated that fractions “are reduced to infinite series by division; and radical quantiles by extraction of roots.” Newton read Wallis and was stimulated to go considerably further, freeing the upper bound and then deriving the infinite series expressing the area of a quadrant of a circle of radius x. In so freeing the upper bound, he was led to recognize that the terms, identified by their powers of x, displayed the binomial coefficients. Thus, the factors … stand out plainly as, in the special case in the
