In mathematics, he discovered the generalized binomial theorem. NewtonвЂ™s first discovery was made during the second year of his four year scholarship. After his third year at Cambridge, he won a four-year scholarship during which he devoted his time fully to his academic studies. He started to write notes to himself that asked questions that had not yet been answered by science, such as, questions about gravity, the nature of light, the nature of color and vision, and atoms. While reading and studying the scientists mentioned above, Newtons grew more ambitious about making his own discoveries. He preferred to study the more scientifically correct ideas of Galileo, Boyle, Descartes, and Kepler. Newton began to disregard the ideas taught to him in his classes because his physics lectures based their teachings on AristotleвЂ™s incorrect ideas from Ancient Greece. He was also very interested in pseudoscience. By his third year in college, Newton was studying a lot of mathematics and physics. He earned money as a personal servant to wealthier students. When Isaac Newton was 18 years old, he began to study for a law degree at Cambridge University Trinity College. HIs mother allowed him to return back to school. Soon after this, Newton found that he wasnвЂ™t good at being a farmer and he didnвЂ™t want to become a farmer. When Newton turned 17, his mother took him out of school so that he could become a farmer like his father. He was taught the classics, not science or mathematics. When Newton was 12 years old, he attended The KingвЂ™s School, Grantham. As a teenager, he even threatened to burn their house down. Newton didnвЂ™t like his motherвЂ™s new husband and went to live with his grandmother. Three years later, Hannah Ayscough, Isaac NewtonвЂ™s mother, married a churchman. Isaac NewtonвЂ™s father could not read or write.

Unfortunately, Isaac NewtonвЂ™s father died before he was born. His father, also Isaac Newton, was a farmer.

He was born in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643.
