Isaac Newton changed the way we understand the Universe. Revered in his own lifetime, he discovered the laws of gravity and motion and invented calculus. He helped to shape our rational world view.

Newton's Method is a technique for approximating a root to an equation of the form \(f(x)=0\). What is required is an initial estimate for the root, called \(x_1 ...

During this time, Newton established the fundamentals of what is now known as calculus. He also worked on the law of universal gravitation and began forming his three laws of motion. After the ...

This document, which Newton likely wrote in the mid-1670s, is part of an eight-page manuscript now housed at Yale University.* The manuscript contains extracts from Newton's favorite alchemist ...

New Scientist once described Isaac Newton as “the supreme genius and most enigmatic character in the history of science.” His three greatest discoveries — the theory of universal gravitation ...
