Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727)
Isaac Newton was born on Christmas Day, 1642. He was still under 25 years
old when he made many startling advances in physics, mathematics, optics
and astronomy.
From 1669 to 1687, he was Lucasian Professor at Cambridge University.
Newton is now regarded as one of the greatest scientists the world has
ever known.
There is a street in Paris named after him (Rue Newton) as well as a
crater on the Moon!
