Contribution
Inventions
sir Issac Newton is best know for his laws of motion. Many peoples knowledge of his scientific contributions stops there. Issac Newtons
inventions contributed a great deal to our current understanding of subjects from optics to theology and how early scientists were able to
view their world.
In mathematics Issac Newton inventions included laying the ground work for differential and integral calculus. His work was based on his
insight that the integration of a function is merely the inverse procedure to differentiating it. Taking differentiation as the basic operation, he
produced simple analytical methods that unified many separate techniques previously developed to solve apparently unrelated problems
such as finding areas, tangents, the lengths of curves and the maxima and minima of functions.

) was an
English physicist and mathematician(described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is
widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in
the scientific revolution. His book Philosophi Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("Mathematical
Principles of Natural Philosophy"), first published in 1687, laid the foundations for classical
mechanics. Newton also made seminal contributions to opticsand shares credit with Gottfried
Leibniz for the invention of calculus.
Death and legacy
By the end of his life, Newton was one of the most famous men in England, his pre-eminence in
matters scientific unchallenged. He had also become a wealthy man; he invested his substantial
income wisely, and had enough to make sizable gifts to charity and leave a small fortune behind in
his will. Whether he was happy is another question. He had never made friends easily, and in his
later years his peculiar combination of pride, insecurity, and distraction seems to have interfered with
his relationships. He never married, and lived as the "monk of science," having channeled all his
sexual energy into his work. His only close relationships with women were familial: with his niece,
with whom he lived for some years, and much earlier, with his mother, who had died in 1679. Around
1700 he had briefly courted a wealthy widow, but nothing came of it.

A world-
renowned polymath, Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster,
scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in
theAmerican Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding
electricity. As an inventor, he is known for the lightning rod, bifocals, and the Franklin stove, among
other inventions.

He facilitated many civic organizations, including Philadelphia's fire department
