Isaac Newton's Accomplishments

Sir Isaac Newton can be most commonly known as the guy who came up with the concept of gravity when an apple fell on his head as he was sitting under a tree. He was born on January 4, 1643 in Lincolnshire, England and later on died in London, England on March 3, 1727.

Then in 1660, Newton returned to the “Free …show more content…
Although it is not clear, there is no specific evidence to prove who or what led Newton “to he most advanced mathematics,” except for his own interest and curiosity in mathematics and science. He wanted to know how things worked, and he wanted to think for himself and just analyze things on his own to make up his own conclusions and …show more content…
Foundations such as “differential and integral calculus” which is related to his “method of fluxions.” Moreover, he came up with “simple analytical methods” that could be applied to solving irrelevant problems by “finding areas, tangents, the lengths of curves and the maxima and minima of functions.” Newton was important to mathematics, because he was able to come up with ways of solving problems and new mathematical ideas that are being used today, his unique way of thinking and passion for learning mathematics and how it works led to him becoming a genius before he was 30 years old.
