"Sir Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 at Woolsthorpe, near Grantham, Licolnshire, England. He's said to be the greatest scientific genius of all time. He attended Trinity College [Cambridge] in June 1661.

For the next couple of years, the time being around the plague, Newton laid the foundation for elementary differential and integral Calculus, something we all come in counter with some point in our life.

Newton is mainly known for establishing the three laws of gravitations and the laws of motion. With them, he could explain a wide range of hitherto disparate phenomena such as the eccentric orbits of comets, the causes of the tides, and their major variations, the precession of the Earth's axis, and the perturbation of the motion of the Moon by the gravity of the sun.

Newton passed away in London on March 31, 1727." Anelreas spoke, broadly.
