Isaac Newton.

Isaac Newton was born on Christmas Day in sixteen forty-two.

Newton's father died before he was born.

His mother got married again, and Newton lived with his grandmother.

At the age of twelve, he started school, and seven years later, in sixteen sixty-one, he went to Cambridge University.

There, he began to study light and color.

He invented a new type of telescope, and was the first person to discover that white light is a mixture of all the colors.

After four years at Cambridge, the plague arrived in Britain.

The plague was a terrible illness that killed thousands of people.

The university closed, and Newton returned home.

While he was at home, he continued to think and to work.

One day, he was sitting under an apple tree in his garden, and an apple fell on his head.

Newton said that is how he discovered gravity.

It's certainly a good story, but we aren't sure if it is true.

He returned to Cambridge in sixteen sixty-seven, and two years later, he became a professor of mathematics.

Starting in sixteen eighty-four, Newton wrote his greatest work, Principia Mathematica, which he published in sixteen eighty-seven.

Isaac Newton died in October, seventeen twenty-seven, at the age of eighty-four.

His work is still important, nearly three hundred years after his death.
