The great English scientist Isaac Newton, whose theory of gravitation is well-known throughout the world, was born in the little village Woolthorpe, not far from his own town of Cambridge, on December 25^th, 1642. His father was a farmer who died when Newton was fourteen years old. His mother, uncle and grandmother took care of him.

When still young, Newton was more of a mechanic than a scholar. His neighbors thought he would probably become a well-known clockmaker, because he had already made a clock his neighbours had never heard of before. It worked by water. Besides the water clock Newton also made a sundial. When he grew older, he became interested in mathematics and physics. His first physical experiment was carried out in 1658, when he was 16 years old. On June 5^th, 1661 Newton entered the University of Cambridge where he studied mathematics and soon became famous at the age of 21.

When Newton was 22 years old, he began studying the theory of gravitation. In 1669 he was appointed professor and began giving lectures on mathematics at Cambrige. Isaac Newton died in 1727 at the age of 85.

	Newton was not a physics, he was a mathematician.
	He was born in the town of Cambridge.
	When he was young he was very intelligent.
	He wasn’t very interested in mathematics until he grew older.
	His first physical experiment was carried out when he was not yet twenty.
	Newton’s Laws explained the relationships between force, mass and movement.
	He entered the University of Cambridge at the age of 21.
	He became a professor when he was not yet 30.
