The great English scientist Isaac Newton. whose theory of gravitation is well-known
throughout the world, was born in the little village Wool Thorpe, not far from his own town of
Cambridge, on December 25th, 1642. His father was a farmer who died when Newton was
fourteen years old. His mother, uncle and grandmother took care of him.
When still young. Newton was more of a mechanic than a scholar: His neighbors thought
he would probably become a well-known clockmaker, because he had already made a clock his
neighbours had never heard of before. It worked by water. Besides the water clock Newton also
made a sundial. When he grew older, he became interested in mathematics and physics. His
first physical experiment was carried out in 1658, when he was .16 years old.. On Jane 5th,
1661 Newton entered the University of Cambridge where he studied mathematics and soon
became famous at the age of 21.
When Newton was 22 years old, he began studying the theory of gravitation. In 1669 he
was appointed professor and began giving lectures on mathematics at Cambridge. Isaac
Newton died in 1727 at the ace of 85.
