From the Paper
"Isaac Newton is considered one of the most ingenious minds of the twentieth century. He is most remembered for his contributions to the mathematic and scientific arenas, where his work was most influential. Newton was primarily a physicist but he was also a mathematician, an astronomer, a philosopher, and a theologian. His greatest achievement is his laws of motion, a theory that changed physics forever. While looking at Newton's achievements, it is easy to fall into the trap of reading the words on the paper. What we should never forget is how he revolutionized modern science with his laws and theories. He was a real maverick. His studious background paved the way to a greater understanding of nature and her mysteries."

Abstract
This paper explains that Sir Isaac Newton advanced a whole new system of mathematics, including systems of physics and calculus, which were revolutionary during his time and continued to be
observed long after his death. The author points out that one of Newton's most significant contributions is his basic laws of motion often call Newton's Laws. The paper relates Isaac Newton would never have described himself as a 'scientist' because the word was not coined until more than a century after his death; he was a reclusive Hebrew scholar and Classicist who wrote more about alchemy and theology than the natural world, and his posthumous reputation is riddled with contradictions.

From the Paper
"Newton's laws of motion can generally be described through example and demonstration and represent a continuation of thought and inquiry into questions of physics. For example, many scientists before Newton could think of explanations for the continuation of movement of a given object due to force and velocity, but could not demonstrate it in a scientific way in the same way that Newton could with his laws of
motion. Using force and velocity, Newton made important mathematical relations that showed up in real world examples. For example, if someone was riding on a horse, they were going the same speed as the horse, then their velocity remained constant, but if something changed their velocity, it would differ from the velocity of the horse, and they
may change velocity in direction of proportionate force. Newton also contributed the commonly repeated maxim that each and every force (action) has an equal and opposite force (reaction). This is a very significant contribution because it represents a basic precept of modern physics."

Abstract
This paper explains that Sir Isaac Newton's vast scientific accomplishments and his philosophical views are essentially inseparable. Newton rests the entire foundation of his scientific discoveries on the existence of a moral order in the universe, which he believed was tempered and led by an omnipotent and omniscient force. The author points out that one of Newton's more curious philosophical efforts was to extract scientific information about the universe from the Bible. The paper discusses Newton's conception of the moral hierarchy.

From the Paper
"Newton viewed God as the masterful creator of the universe. In the face of the grandeur of all creation, he argued, how is it even possible that man could begin to deny God's existence? God enabled Newton to justify his natural philosophy, thus blurring the line that has traditionally separated science from religion. In explaining his view of astronomy, Newton asserted that it was necessary that there be a force behind it all to make it work."

Abstract
This paper presents a brief biography of Isaac Newton. The paper begins with his family history from his early days in England to his student days at Cambridge. The paper then explores Newton and his various fields of interest: Optics; Astronomy; and the Laws of Mechanical Motion. The writer believes that Newton laid the foundation and standardized the scientific approach, which revolutionized the whole mode of human life.

From the Paper
"Of all these laws Newton's most famous is the law of universal gravitation, which explained that every object in the universe exerts an attractive force (gravitation force) on every other object. Thus Newton's laws of mechanical motion in effect created a new perception in our understanding of the universe and the interrelation between the different heavenly bodies. Ernst Mach an eminent scientist had this to say about Newton's law of mechanics, "All that has been accomplished in mathematics since his day has been a deductive, formal, and mathematical development of mechanics on the basis of Newton's laws." [Michael .H. Hart, 44]. All these laws were published in his famed work "principia" (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy") in 1687."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Sir Isaac Newton was one of the greatest mathematicians and physicists of all times with achievements in other domains such as alchemy, chemistry and even religion or philosophy. The paper looks at Newton's work "Optiks," a study which best emphasizes his work on light and color, and his work "The Principia" that explains Newton's three laws and his definition of gravity.

From the Paper
"Sir Isaac Newton is one of the greatest mathematicians and physicists of all times; usually presented by the historical documents of science as the academician who discovered the Law of Gravity, Newton also had great achievements in domains such as optics, mathematics, mechanics, alchemy, chemistry and even religion or philosophy. He was born in 1642 at Woolsthorpe, near Grantham in Lincolnshire, where he started his education. In 1661 he became a student of the Cambridge University and in 1667 a Fellow of the Trinity College, when he discovered his passion for mathematics. He later on became a professor of the university, this period of his life being mainly dedicated to studying mathematics, physics and alchemy. Moreover, he made his first public scientific achievement, the invention, design and construction of a reflecting telescope and he also wrote "Principia", a study of mathematical principles applied on natural philosophy, which was only published in 1687 ."

Abstract
This essay provides a brief background on Isaac Newton, the man and the scientist. The main focus of the paper is Newton's three laws of motion. 1)Law of Inertia; 2)Law of Acceleration; and 3)Law of Interaction. The paper explains what each law is, how it applies to the behavior of motion and what its significance is to the world of physics. Through these three laws, Newton was able to prove the nature of objects in the universe, and how they interact with each other.

From the Paper
"The First Law of Motion is stated as follows: "An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force" (Physics Classroom 2003). The first law is also called the Law of Inertia, and explains the concept of inertia, which is an object at rest. The first law explains that, in properly defining inertia, "the tendency of an object to persist in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line is called inertia" (Navaza 1996 110). Theoretically, the first law of motion is just a restatement of Galileo Galilei's analysis about the nature and behavior of motion."

Abstract
This paper outlines Sir Isaac Newton's background and his achievements in alchemy, chemistry, theology, physics and mathematics as well as the crowning achievement of his work "Principia". The paper posits that Newton's greatest legacy is that scientists and mathematicians work with his laws and theories everyday.

From the Paper
"Although his father died three months before Isaac was born and his mother wanted him home to farm and manage her estate, his uncle, William Ayscough, convinced his mother that Isaac would do much better as a scholar, so he sent Isaac to the Free Grammar School in Grantham in 1660 (Westfall 55). It was at this introduction to education that Isaac showed a potential passion for learning. Having met with the headmaster of the school, Isaac was able to convince his mother to send him to a university where he could continue his education (Hall 7). Ironically born in the same year that Galileo died, Newton would go on to distinguish himself as one of the most influential scientist to ever live having laid the foundations for future work in mathematics, optics, and physics."

Abstract
This paper describes the book, "Life of Isaac Newton" by Richard Westfall, which tells chronologically the life of a solitary scholar, Trinity College professor, government administrator and elder statesman of the English scientific community by showing his accomplishments and human weakness. This paper tells the story of the "apple" and points out that Newton may have gotten the idea when he was young but it took many years for him to develop his theories.

From the Paper
"For a number of years, Newton did not publish anything and seemed to immerse himself in the study of chemistry and its "occultist" neighbor, alchemy. Avoiding the more mystical areas of the science, there is no doubt he was searching for both knowledge as well as gold . Newton also was delving into some dangerous theological areas, doubting the existence of the Trinity and attributing it to a corruption of the true earlier Christian religion. Despite holding these beliefs until his death, he successfully kept them a secret, and even managed to be appointed to the Lucasian chair of Trinity College without having to take the usual step of taking on the holy orders. He kept his then-heretical religious beliefs a secret until his deathbed, when he refused to take his final communion "

Abstract
This paper discusses the life and work of Isaac Newton and how his laws and discoveries have ensured that his name is imprinted in the history of science. The author illustrates how Newton is not only one of the greatest scientists but also one of the most influential scientific personalities.

From the Paper
"Isaac Newton was the greatest and the most influential scientist of all times. Born in Woolsthrope, England on a Christmas day in 1642 Newton was a bright child with an incredible mechanical aptitude. Newton entered the Cambridge University when he was eighteen years of age and soon he mastered the science and mathematical concepts of his time and went on to continue his independent research. It was during this period that Newton laid the foundation for the subsequent discoveries that were to revolutionize the scientific world. Newton was conferred the honorable Fellow of Royal Society of London in 1671."
