Sir Isaac Newton, who is considered as one of the greatest fathers of modern science was born December, 25th, 1642 at Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England shortly after his father Isaac Newton I had passed away. Newton faced a more troubled childhood than most of his peers. As his father died prior to his birth, he was raised by his grandmother and had a quarrelsome relationship with his step-father. Newton attended at local primary grammar institutions prior to attending Cambridge University, in 1661. Newton graduated in 1665. When Cambridge University closed for two years as an outcome of the plague, Newton returned to his birthplace, Woolsthorpe, and begun an era of deep study and in a variety of scientific areas, including astronomy, mathematics and mechanics (Westfall, 2010). In 1667 Newton returned to Cambridge to complete a Master of Arts degree. Newton developed a close relationship with Professor Isaac Barrow, who was the Lucasian chair in mathematics at Cambridge. Borrow advocated Newton's research in Mathematics, and as a result Newton was appointed mathematics professor in 1669. (Westfall, 2010). In 1696 Newton was appointed Master of the Mint, the highest position within the English Royal Mint and he departed Cambridge for London (Westfall, 2010).
In his later ages Newton expended his time studying alchemy and theology. Although Newton stopped most of his scientific experiments, he was regarded as the dean of English science and was elected President of the Royal Society in 1703. By the end of his life, Newton was one of the most famous men in England. He had also become a wealthy man. Sir Isaac Newton was knighted in 1705 and died in 1727.
