Sir Isaac Newton. He was born on January 4,1643 and died on March 31, 1727 when he was 84 years old.

He was born in Woolsthorpe, near Grantham in Lincolnshire which is in England. When Newton was born England had not adopted the lastest papal calendar and so his date of birth was recorded as Christmas Day, December 25, 1642.

Newton's mother was Hannah Ayscough and his father had died 3 months before Newton was born, his name is not definite. His mother had remarried and he disliked his step-father very much and always had a hate for his mother for marrying him. He even gave they this threat, "Threatening my father and mother Smith to burn them and the house over them."

From 1703 to his death in 1727, he served as President of the Royal Society, and in 1705, Queen Anne knighted him. The professor, Newton died in 1727 at the age of 84, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. His memorial statue is in the chapel of Trinity College, Cambridge, England.
