		Newton was the first to promulgate a set of natural laws that could govern both terrestrial motion and celestial motion, and is credited with providing mathematical substantiation for Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which he expanded by arguing that orbits (such as those of comets) could be elliptic, hyperbolic, or parabolic.
		Newton was the first to realise that the spectrum of colours observed when white light passed through a prism is inherent in the white light and not added by the prism (as Roger Bacon had claimed in the 13th century), and also notably argued that light is composed of particles.
		Newton was born in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth (at Woolsthorpe Manor), a hamlet in the county of Lincolnshire.

		Newton summarized his discoveries in terrestrial and celestial mechanics in his Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica [mathematical principles of natural philosophy] (1687), one of the greatest milestones in the history of science.
		Newton’s discoveries in optics were presented in his Opticks (1704), in which he elaborated his theory that light is composed of corpuscles, or particles.
		Newton was his university’s representative in Parliament (1689–90, 1701–2) and was president of the Royal Society from 1703 until his death.

		Newton treated the moving body as the passive subject of external forces acting upon it, and this new approach to impact dynamics remains the basis for the analysis of impact today.
		Newton took his studies on impact a step further, and used them to show that the earth's rotation does not fling bodies into the air because the force of gravity, measured by the rate of falling bodies, is greater than the centrifugal force arising from the rotation.
		Newton realised that this was not the case - a white page with fl writing did not appear coloured when viewed from a distance and the fl and white blended, it appeared as grey.

	Newton, Sir Isaac
		Sir Isaac Newton, the culminating figure in the scientific revolution of the 17th century, was born on Jan. 4, 1643 (N.S.; Dec. 25, 1642, O.S.), in the manor house of Woolsthorpe, near Grantham, Lincolnshire, England.
		Newton immersed himself in the new mechanical philosophy of DESCARTES, GASSENDI, and BOYLE; in the new algebra and analytical geometry of VIETA, Descartes, and WALLIS; and in the mechanics and Copernican astronomy of GALILEO.
		Newton argued that white light is really a mixture of many different types of rays, that the different types of rays are refracted at slightly different angles, and that each different type of ray is responsible for producing a given spectral color.

		Newton's main interest at the time of his appointment was optics, and for several years the lectures required of him by the professorship were devoted to this subject.
		Newton felt honored when the members were favorably impressed by the efficiency of his small reflecting telescope and when on the basis of it they elected him to their membership.
		During his undergraduate years Newton had discovered what is known as the binomial theorem; invention of the calculus had followed; mathematical questions had been treated at length in correspondence with scientists in England and abroad; and his contributions to optics and celestial mechanics could be said to be his mathematical formulation of their principles.

	Isaac Newton
		The legend is that Newton saw an apple fall in his garden in Lincolnshire, thought of it in terms of an attractive gravitational force towards the earth, and realized the same force might extend as far as the moon.
		This was envisioned by Newton in the Principia.
		Newton's answer was that the natural acceleration of the moon was much smaller than that of the cannonball because they were both caused by a force---a gravitational attraction towards the earth, and that the gravitational force became weaker on going away from the earth.

	Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727)
		Newton replied saying that he had abandoned the study of philosophy, but he added that the earth's diurnal motion might be proved by the experiment of observing the deviation from the perpendicular of a stone dropped from a height to the ground - an experiment which was subsequently made by the Society and succeeded.
		Newton assumed that all geometrical magnitudes might be conceived as generated by continuous motion; thus a line may be considered as generated by the motion of a point, a surface by that of a line, a solid by that of a surface, a plane angle by the rotation of a line, and so on.
		Newton then went on to apply these results to questions connected with the maxima and minima of quantities, the method of drawing tangents to curves, and the curvature of curves (namely, the determination of the centre of curvature, the radius of curvature, and the rate at which the radius of curvature increases).

	Isaac Newton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Isaac Newton, PRS (25 December 1642 (OS) – 20 March 1727 (OS) / 4 January 1643 (NS) – 31 March 1727 (NS)) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, inventor, philosopher and alchemist.
		John Maynard Keynes, who acquired many of Newton's writings on alchemy, stated that "Newton was not the first of the age of reason: he was the last of the magicians." Newton's interest in alchemy cannot be isolated from his contributions to science.
		Newton has a cameo role, along with Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein, in a poker game in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation during season 6.

	Newton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Isaac Newton is well known for his work on light and the spectrum, topics that formed a major part of his book Opticks, published in 1704.
		Newton discovered that when light (from a star, for example) passed through a lens the different colours were refracted by differing amounts.
		It is interesting to note that Newton did not invent the idea of a reflecting telescope: the honour for this goes to the Scottish mathematician James Gregory, who designed such an instrument in the early 1660s.

		The conviction that Newton's laws extended as far as there was lawfulness in the physical universe gained even more assurance when it became clear that the powerful principles of mechanics proposed after Newton, such as the principle of virtual displacement and virtual velocities, were but hidden aspects of the Newtonian axioms.
		Newton made the Scientific Revolution more than a matter of mere measurement and equations that theoretical philosophers might dismiss as unworthy to be compared with the grand cosmologies of the ancients.
		Newton was respected in his lifetime as no scientist before him (with the possible exception of Archimedes or after him, with the possible exception of Einstein).

		He was the first to realise that the spectrum of colourss observed when white light was passed through a prism was inherent in the white light, and not added by the prism as Roger Bacon had claimed 400 years earlier.
		During this period he investigated the refraction of light, demonstrating that a prism could decompose white light into a spectrum of colours, and then a lens and a second prism could recompose the multicoloured spectrum into white light.
		Newton was secretly a unitarian, i.e., he disbelieved in the Trinity.

		The advantage of these grants are that if during the award period you are awarded time on a telescope not included in the original grant, you may apply for additional TandS funds to cover the extra observing runs.
		Where the request involves a non-approved telescope this might be peer reviewed by an independent referee (sought by PPARC) before being approved by the PATT chair.
		Applicants are reminded that PPARC funding for visits to non-PPARC telescopes (both approved and non-approved) is not guaranteed and that PPARC is not obliged to approve last minute proposals on the grounds that air flights have been booked, or that not to approve funding would be a breach of faith with the awarding body.
