English physicist and mathematician, who used to be the culminating figure of the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century.
In optics, his discovery of the composition of white light integrated the phenomena of colors into the science oflight and laid the inspiration for modern physical optics.
In mechanics, his three laws of motion, the elemental principles of modern physics, resulted in the formulation of the law of universal gravitation. In mathematics, he used to be the original discoverer of the infinitesimal calculus. Newton’s Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica(Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), 1687, was one of the crucial essential single works in the history of modern science.
