	Anthroposophie Forum - Bibliothek: Isaac Newton
		Isaac Newton was born in Lincolnshire, near Grantham, on December 25, 1642, and died at Kensington, London, on March 20, 1727.
		Isaac Newton is popularly remembered as the man who saw an apple fall from a tree, and was inspired to invent the theory of gravity.
		Newton was forced to leave Cambridge when it was closed because of the plague, and it was during this period that he made some of his most significant discoveries.

	Newton biography
		Isaac Newton was born in the manor house of Woolsthorpe, near Grantham in Lincolnshire.
		Newton explained a wide range of previously unrelated phenomena: the eccentric orbits of comets, the tides and their variations, the precession of the Earth's axis, and motion of the Moon as perturbed by the gravity of the Sun.
		Newton was at the height of his standing - seen as a leader of the university and one of the most eminent mathematicians in the world.

	Isaac Newton's Life
		Newton made contributions to all branches of mathematics then studied, but is especially famous for his solutions to the contemporary problems in analytical geometry of drawing tangents to curves (differentiation) and defining areas bounded by curves (integration).
		Newton's work on pure mathematics was virtually hidden from all but his correspondents until 1704, when he published, with Opticks, a tract on the quadrature of curves (integration) and another on the classification of the cubic curves.
		Correspondence with Hooke (1679-1680) redirected Newton to the problem of the path of a body subjected to a centrally directed force that varies as the inverse square of the distance; he determined it to be an ellipse, so informing Edmond Halley in August 1684.

	What Did Isaac Newton Invent?
		Newton laid the foundations for differential and integral calculus, several years before its independent discovery by Leibniz.
		In his Principia Newton explained a wide range of previously unrelated phenomena: the eccentric orbits of comets, the tides and their variations, the precession of the Earth's axis, and motion of the Moon as perturbed by the gravity of the Sun.
		He also observed Newton's rings, which are actually a manifestation of the wave nature of light which Newton did not believe in.

	Ø Wilson's Almanac free daily ezine \| Sir Isaac Newton: Scientist, alchemist and theologian \| Alchemy and ...
		Sir Isaac Newton attained scientific immortality for formulating the law of gravity, but he was also a theologian who wrote more than one million words on biblical subjects and was influenced by Hebrew scripture, according to academic articles on his work.
		Newton wrote that this apocalypse would be followed by a 1,000-year reign by the saints on Earth.
		The Newton Project is working towards the publication, for the first time, of all Newton’s theological and alchemical works, stating “There are excellent editions of his mathematical and scientific papers, as well as of his correspondence, but very few of his non-scientific writings have ever appeared in print.

	Sir Isaac Newton: The Universal Law of Gravitation
		Finally, Newton reasoned that if the cannon projected the cannon ball with exactly the right velocity, the projectile would travel completely around the Earth, always falling in the gravitational field but never reaching the Earth, which is curving away at the same rate that the projectile falls.
		Newton concluded that the orbit of the Moon was of exactly the same nature: the Moon continuously "fell" in its path around the Earth because of the acceleration due to gravity, thus producing its orbit.
		However Newton, largely as a corollary of his 3rd Law, demonstrated that the situation actually was more symmetrical than Kepler imagined and that the Sun does not occupy a privileged postion; in the process he modified Kepler's 3rd Law.

	SMB - Newsletter v13n1
		The purpose of Newton Institute programmes is to bring together mathematicians and scientists who are interested in a particular area of science or mathematics but do not commonly join forces to attack research problems simultaneously from their different points of view.
		Thus, in the context of the present programme, we expect that a few participants from (different areas in) the mathematical sciences will be present throughout, but that the principal long-term biologists will normally stay only for their particular subject, though overlapping a bit with the neighbouring ones, we hope.
		The Newton Institute is able to offer financial support to those of the longer-term participants who need it.

	Isaac Newton's Apple Tree - Icons of England
		In the back garden of the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge is an apple tree.
		Each is said to be a descendant of the one at Woolsthorpe Manor near Grantham that inspired the founder of modern physics to inquire into the nature of gravitation and the laws of motion.
		Why should it not go sideways or upwards, but constantly to the earth’s centre?” In the popular myth we all grew up with, Newton was hit on the head by the apple, its impact suggestively knocking a moment of enlightened inspiration into him.

	Global problems in Mathematical Relativity at the Isaac Newton Institute
		Appropriately coinciding with last year's centenary of Einstein's great papers, the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, England, sponsored and hosted during 2005 a nearly 5 month long programme on "Global Problems in Mathematical Relativity".
		The first of these, the week long Euroconference on "Global General Relativity", included talks on a very wide range of topics, from recent developments on quasilocal mass to the latest observational data pertaining to astrophysical fl holes, and from numerical simulations of classical solutions to recently developed ideas on quantum field theory in curved spacetimes.
		The five month long Newton Institute programme was capped by a week long Euroconference in December which focussed on studies of the Einstein constraint equations and on a number of related mathematical and physical themes.

	Quantum gravity subprogram at the Isaac Newton Institute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The Isaac Newton Institute programme ``Global Problems in Mathematical Relativity'', which spanned close to 5 months in the autumn of 2005, contained in October-November a four-week subprogramme on quantum gravity, organized by Abhay Ashtekar and Piotr Chrusciel.
		While quantum issues did feature throughout the mathematical relativity programme, and especially during the fl holes theme weeks in August-September, the purpose of the quantum gravity subprogramme was to focus on loop quantum gravity and related topics.
		Outside the official activities there were numerous informal discussions on specific topics, and the celebrated layout of the institute building encouraged all interested to join these discussions.
