Showed no promise as schoolboy but studied at Cambridge and later appointed to the Lucasian chair of mathematics. Became Master of the Mint. Proposed the law of gravity in 1666. Known for his work on the spectrum, his laws of motion, construction of telescopes, work in geometry, and differential calculus. Published Principia and Optics. ...
