ISAAC NEWTON
 GREATEST INVENTION OF
NEWTON: THEORY OF
GRAVITY AND LAWS OF
MOTION
Newton's law of universal gravitation
states that every mass attracts
every other mass in the universe, and the
gravitational force between two bodies is
proportional to the product of their
masses, and inversely proportional to the
square of the distance between them.

The legend is that Newton

discovered Gravity when he saw a
falling apple while thinking about the
forces of nature.

 NEWTON’S APPLE TREE
The tree near Newton’s
house from which the
famous apple is said to
have fallen.

Reputed descendents of Newton’s apple tree at Trinity college,

Cambridge, the Cambridge University Botanic Garden, and the
Institut of Balseiro library garden.
 CONTRIBUTION IN CALCULUS

• Newton started developing

Calculus in 1666

• He got in a dispute with

Gotfred Leibniz (who had
also been working his
methods of calculus) about
who invented calculus.

• Newton and Leibniz share the

credit of developinf the
integral calculus.
 NEWTON AND OPTICS
• Investigated refraction of light.

• Discovered that light had a

spectrum of colours.

• He built the first refracting

telescope.

reflecting telescope, which he
presented to the Royal Society in

to the designs of the architect William
Kent (1685-1748) and dates from 1731.

With his left hand he points to a

scroll with a mathematical
design shown on it (the 'converging
series'), held by two standing winged
boys.
