Identified the fundamental laws of optics, motion, and gravitation.
British scientist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton contributed substantially to the science of optics and the nature of light, formulated the laws of motion and gravitation, and independently developed a form of calculus.Isaac Newton was born in Lincolnshire, England on January 4, 1643 (or December 25, 1642 by the Julian calendar then in use).
