Sir Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton was one of the greatest figures in the history and all time of exact sciences. ... Isaac Newton was born on Christmas Day, 1642, in the small country town of Woolsthorpe. His father, a farmer, died shortly before Isaac was born. ... Isaac stayed on the farm in Woolsthorpe with his grandmother. ... There Isaac started of as a bad student. ... It was not until a savage kick by a school bully that caused Newton’s mind to shall I say “kick in. ... It did not take long for Isaac to be at the head of his class. In 1656 Newton’s stepfather died. His mother returned to woolsthorpe to take care of the farm left by Newton’s father. Isaac was taken out of school and brought home to help her manage the farm. As a farmer, Newton proved to be a failure. ... Realizing that her son was simply not suited to farm life, Newton’s mother sent him back to Kings School.
