                                        Isaac Newton

Isaac [       ], Descartes [        ]

      1. Isaac Newton, the man of powerful mathematical ability, was born into a family of a
farmer in 1642. The early days of Isaac’s life were rather unhappy. The child was so weak and
slow - witted that his grandmother didn’t send him to school till the boy was twelve. While at
school and later at Cambridge Newton studied with no particular distinction, though he was
extremely skilful in making models, mechanical toys, sunclocks and so on.
      2. His first tutor in science and the man who impressed Isaac most by his great charm and
popularity was Descartes. Descartes was able to concentrate the most
advanced scientific ideas of this time widely ranging from philosophy to many fields of exact
sciences including physics.
      3. The law of inertia, now familiar as Newton’s first law of motion made it possible to
calculate the motions of matter by means of the laws of dynamics. In Newton’s law of
graviation was found a change of velocity in amount or direction or both. The basic idea of
dynamics, the equations of motion, the ideas of inertia, of mass and of acceleration were
applied by Newton to large bodies like the Earth and the Moon to explain the structure and the
motion of the Universe.
      4. Newton was personally an extremely odd ( эксцентричный ) character. He never
married. He was very self - critical, but this made him even more resentful of the criticism of
other people. In 1684 Newton got a prize for the solution of the body motion problem.
