Biography of Isaac Newton
Dates of Birth and Death:
(∗) 25 December 1642 (according to the old calendar) / 4. January 1643 in
Woolthorpe-by-Colsterworth, England
(†) 20 March 1727 (according to the old calendar) / 31 March 1727 in Kensington, England
Family Data:
Newton’s father Isaac Newton was a wealthy, but an illiterate farmer who
died shortly before his son was born. His mother Hannah Ayscough married
the minister Barnabas Smith in 1646. Isaac therefore stayed with his grandmother Margery Ayscough. After his stepfather’s death in 1653 he lived
together with his mother, grandmother, half-brother and two half-sisters.
The death of his mother caused him a nervous breakdown.
As from 1696, Newton lived as a wealthy man in London in a house with
his own observatory. From 1697 or from 1707 onwards his niece Catherine
Barton managed his household. Newton never married, but he is said to have
been engaged at the age of 19. He had to suffer an asperger-syndrom, and at
his later age, he suffered of cystolith. In 1727, he was buried in Westminster
Abbey.
Education:
As from 1653, Newton attended Free Grammar School in Grantham. At his
17, his mother took him away from school, because she wanted him to administer her estate, but his uncle saw to it that he could complete his schooling
in 1661. In 1661, Newton was educated at Trinity College in Cambridge,
where also his uncle did his studies. He wanted to get himself specialized
in law, but was more interested in the ideas of René Descartes (1596-150),
Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655), Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) and Robert Boyle
(1627-1691), Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) and Galileo Galilei (1564-1642).
He learnt mathematics by himself. In April 1665, he was awarded with the
Bachelor, but in the same year the University was closed because of the
deadly Plague. Isaac therefore worked at home for two years, dealing with
mathematics, optics, physics, and astronomy. During this time, he developed his discoveries laying the foundations of the differential calculus and
infinitesimal calculus, for the procedure of approximation, and for the new
theories of optics and for the law of gravity.

The scholastic school was at that time still valid, but Newton was influenced
by Descartes’ mechanistic system, by Gassendi’s atomistic ideas and the
theologian Henry More’s (1614-1687) Platonic-Hermetical ideas.
Professional Career:
In 1667, Newton became a Fellow of Trinity College in Cambridge and Master
of Arts. In 1669, Newton became successor of his professor Isaac Barrow
(1630-1677) on the Lucasian Chair in Cambridge for Mathematics. During
1670-1672, he taught optics and built a reflector telescope on his own.
Because Newton could not stand the critics of other people, he retired and
concentrated in the study of the Bible from 1673 onwards. He became convinced that the doctrine about the Holy Trinity was heresy. In 1675, he
got the dispensation from the duty of ordination. A conflict with English
Jesuits in Liège in 1678 and his mother’s death in 1679 caused a nervous
breakdown. Till 1684, he lived secludedly. During this time, he wrote “De
Motu Corporum”, which brought him the international recognition. Newton
was in permanent conflict with Robert Hooke (1635-1703), who was leading
in the Royal Society and who accused Newton of plagiarism.
Newton also protested, when in 1687 King James II wanted to change the
University of Cambridge into a Catholic University.
In 1689, Newton started a correspondence with John Locke (1632-1704)
about Theology and a friendship with the Swiss mathematician Nicolas Fatio
de Duillier (1664-1753). When this friendship ended in 1693, he had another
nervous breakdown; afterwards he discontinued his research.
In 1696, the treasurer, his university friend and patron Charles Montague,
Earl of Halifax (1661-1715), gave Newton the office of the Warden of the
Royal Mint, where Newton organized the necessary newly refined mint. In
1699, he became the “Master” there, which definitively stopped his scientific
career, because he felt obliged to work hard. In 1701, he retired from his
chair in Cambridge.
Newton’s relations to other scientists were always troublesome, as to Robert
Hooke (1635-1703), Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695) and Robert Flamsteed
(1646-1719). With Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1746) he had a long
lasting quarrel for the discovery of the infinitesimal calculus, which Leibniz
had found independently of Newton.
Newton became predominantly important in three subjects: the infinitesimal
calculus, the theory optics and the law of gravity.
