Isaac Newton: The Gravity of Mathematics Earl Hester MAT 123
WHO IS ISAAC NEWTON ● Born January 4th, 1643 ● Educated at University of Cambridge ● Royal Society of London ● Invented Calculus ● Law of Gravity ● Three Laws ● Composition of light
NEWTON TELESCOPE DESIGN ● Changed Galileo’s design ● Replaced glass lenses with mirror ● Prevented light from being distorted
COMPOSITION OF LIGHT ● ● ● ●
Darkened room Made a hole Allowed one beam of light Introduced glass prism in the sunbeam o Resulted in multicolored band of light called the color spectrum
NEWTON’S LAW OF GRAVITATION Any two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
NEWTONS THREE LAWS Newton’s first law: An object put into motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by another object.
NEWTONS THREE LAWS... Newton’s second law: An objects rate of acceleration is equal to the force exerted on it.
NEWTONS THREE LAWS... Newton’s third law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
NEWTON STUDIED THE TEMPLE “in Babson Ms 0434 Newton twice examined the verses of the Book of Ezekiel that related to the Temple. In his first verse by verse examination he scrutinized the dimensions of the gates, and the interior and exterior atriums with their colonnades. He mapped out the floor plan of the Temple, relating it to each verse through three floor plans, two floor-plans of the gate and one of the Temple precinct, and he constantly checked all the measurements�
