SCIENTIFIC WEALTH
OF ENGLAND
British science has long exerted a huge
impact on the world. From computer
science to the double helix, the world
would be a very different place without
British innovation.
For centuries, Britain has been a
veritable hotbed of scientific
innovation. From Isaac Newton to
Stephen Hawking, the country's best
scientists are household names all
across the globe.
ISAAC NEWTON
1642-1727
•Mathematician and physicist, one of the foremost
scientific intellects of all time was at Woolsthorpe, near
Grantham in Lincolnshire, where he attended school, he
entered Cambridge University in 1661.
•Newton’s achievements in experimental investigation
being as innovative as those in mathematical research.
 • Newton’s three laws of motion set the foundation for
modern classical mechanics.
THE MOST • His discovery of the gravitational force gave man the
IMPORTANT ability to predict movements of celestial objects.
DISCOVERIES • His co-discovery of calculus provided a potent
OF SIR ISAAC mathematical tool, aiding the precise analytical
treatment of the physical world.
NEWTON
• Discovery of the Law of Gravitation.
CHARLES DARWIN
1809-1882

Charles was the son of Robert Darwin, a prosperous physician

and industrial financier.

At Cambridge Charles met two very important Anglican priests

who were also top scientists. However, the effect of their
guidance and passion for science was to confirm Charles’
vocation as a naturalist.
 • Charles Darwin changed the way people look at living
things. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by Natural
THE THEORY Selection ties together all of the life sciences and
OF EVOLUTION explains where living things came from and how they
adapt. In life, there is heredity, selection, and variation.
AND OTHER
IMPORTANT • The work that influenced him the most was Sir
Charle’s Lyelle’s Principles of Geology. Lyell
RESEARCHES explained a new way of looking at nature.
ADA LOVELACE
1815-1852
Ada Lovelace was an English mathematician and writer,
chiefly known for her work the Analytical Engine. 

From 1832, when she was seventeen, her mathematical

abilities began to emerge, and her interest in mathematics
dominated the majority of her adult life.
 • Between 1842 and 1843, Ada translated an article
supplementing it with an elaborate set of notes, simply
OUTSTANDING called "Notes".
BREAK- • Her mindset of "poetical science" led her to ask
THROUGHS OF questions about the Analytical Engine, examining how
THE SCIENTIST individuals and society relate to technology as a
collaborative tool.
ALEXANDRE FLEMING
1881-1955
Alexander Fleming was born in Ayrshire, Scotland and studied
medicine, serving as a physician during World War I. 

Fleming had planned on becoming a surgeon, but a temporary

position in the Inoculation Department at St. Mary's Hospital
changed his path toward the then-new field of bacteriology. 
CONTRIBUTION INTO WORLD’S
SCIENCE
• In 1928 Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, though he
did not realize the full significance of his discovery for at least
another decade. 
• He eventually received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or
Medicine in 1945.
• During World War I, Fleming served in the Royal Army
Medical Corps. He worked as a bacteriologist, studying
wound infections in a makeshift lab that had been set up by
Wright in Boulogne, France.
DOROTHY HODGKIN
1910-1994
•Dorothy Hodgkin was a chemist whose determination of
the structure of penicillin  and vitamin B brought her the
1964 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
•Dorothy fought to be allowed to study science along with
the boys. She succeeded and was accepted in 1928 to read
for a degree in chemistry  at Somerville College, 
University of Oxford.
 • In the mid-1950s Hodgkin discovered the structure
of vitamin B, notably, she made extensive use of
computers to carry out the complex computations
INNOVATIVE involved.
IDEAS AND • She never gave up on discovering the structure of
INVENTIONS insulin, a large, complex protein molecule.
• Eventually her patience was rewarded: working with
an international team of young researchers, she
discovered its structure in 1969.
STEPHEN HAWKING
1942-2018
Stephen Hawking, in full Stephen William Hawking, was an
English theoretical physicist whose theory of exploding  drew
upon both relativity theory and quantum mechanics. 
In1979 he was appointed to Cambridge’s Lucasian professorship
of mathematics, a post once held by Isaac Newton.
PROMINENT ACHIEVEMENTS

• Hawking contracted an incurable degenerative neuromuscular

disease. He continued to work despite the disease’s
progressively disabling effects.
• In 1971 he suggested the formation, following the Big Bang,
of numerous objects containing as much as one billion tons of
mass but occupying only the space of a proton.
• His work was also important because it showed these
properties’ relationship to the laws of
classical thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.
 Science and technology in the United Kingdom has a
ENGLAND IS long history, producing many important figures and
PROUD OF ITS developments in the field.

SCIENTIFIC As a hub for innovation and knowledge, British men and

ACHIEVEMENT women have pioneered the field throughout history.
