Newton, the president of the Royal Society, is a famous British physicist, an encyclopedic "all-rounder", and has written mathematical principles of natural philosophy and optics. He described gravity and three laws of motion in the paper "Laws of Nature" published by 1687. These descriptions laid the scientific view of the physical world in the next three centuries and became the basis of modern engineering.
In mechanics, Newton expounded the conservation principle of momentum and angular momentum and put forward Newton's law of motion. In optics, he invented reflecting telescope, and based on the observation that a prism diverges white light into the visible spectrum, he developed the color theory. He also systematically expressed the law of cooling and studied the speed of sound. ?
In mathematics, Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz shared the honor of developing calculus. He also proved the generalized binomial theorem and put forward Newton's method to approximate the zero point of function, which contributed to the study of power series.

1. In the book Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy published in 1688, he described gravity and three laws of motion. These descriptions laid the foundation for the next three centuries? Newton (14 sheets)? The scientific view of the physical world has become the basis of modern engineering. He demonstrated the consistency between Kepler's law of planetary motion and his theory of gravity, which promoted the scientific revolution. ?
2.65438-0687' s natural philosophy masterpiece "Principles of Mathematics" opened a great scientific era. Newton is the most influential scientist and is known as the "father of physics". He is the founder of Newton's law of motion based on classical mechanics. His discovery of the three laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation laid the foundation of modern physics and mechanics.
Up to today, the launching and orbit calculation of artificial earth satellites, rockets and spaceships are still based on this theory. In 2005, the Royal Society conducted a poll entitled "Who is the most influential person in the history of science", and Newton was considered to be more influential than Albert Einstein.
