ISAAC NEWTON CONTRIBUTION TO
SCIENCE
● During his lifetime, Sir Isaac Newton made substantial
contributions to science. He is credited with inventing calculus
and establishing a clear understanding of optics. But it was his
study on forces, notably the establishment of a universal rule of
gravity, that he was most famous for.
● The first contribution in scientific community. While on leave
from Cambridge University, he worked on theories about light,
calculus, and celestial mechanics. Years of work culminated in the
publication of "Principia" in 1687, a seminal work that established
the universal laws of motion and gravity. The single most
important work in the transformation of early modern natural
philosophy into modern physical science.
To put it another way, he was the pinnacle figure of the 17th century Scientific
Revolution. In optics, his discovery of white light's composition incorporated color
phenomena into the science of light and set the groundwork for current physical
optics. His three laws of motion, which are the foundations of contemporary physics,
led to the creation of the law of universal gravitation in mechanics.
ISAAC NEWTON CONTRIBUTION TO
MATHEMATICS
• He was the first to discover the infinitesimal calculus in
mathematics. One of the most important single
publications in the history of modern science was
Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia
Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural
Philosophy, 1687)
• The "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica"
(Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) it is
established the three laws of motion as well as the law
of universal gravity. Newton's three principles of
motion assert that (1) any object in uniform motion will
continue in that state unless an external force acts on
it; (2) force equals mass times acceleration: F=MA;
and (3) there is an equal and opposite reaction to
every action.
• Isaac Newton developed the use of calculus in his laws of motion and gravitation.
• Calculus is a branch of mathematics focused on limits, functions, derivatives,
integrals, and infinite series.
• This subject constitutes a major part of modern mathematics education.It has two
major branches, differential calculus and integral calculus, which are related by
the fundamental theorem of calculus.
• Calculus is the study of change, in the same way that geometry is the study of
shape and algebra is the study of operations and their application to solving
equations.
• Calculus has historically been called "the calculusof infinitesimals", or
"infinitesimal calculus".
• More generally, calculus refers to any method or system ofcalculation guided by
the symbolic manipulation ofexpressions.
• Some examples of other well-known calculiare propositional calculus, variational
calculus, lambdacalculus, pi calculus, and join calculus .
• A course in calculus is a gateway to other, more advanced courses in
mathematics devoted to the study of functions and limits, broadly called
mathematical analysis.Calculus has widespread applications in science,
economics, and engineering and can solve many problems for which algebra
alone is insufficient.
