ISSAC NEWTON  At the age 22. on leave from the university, he began revolutionary advances in mathematics, optics, dynamics, thermodynamics, acoustics and celestial mechanics.  Newton is regarded as the father of calculus which he called fluxions.

ISSAC NEWTON  Newton was a difficult man, prone to depression and involved in bitter arguments with scientist.  In october 1665, a plague epidemic forced the university to close and newton returned to Woolsthrope. The two years he spent there was and awful time, gravity and devoted his time to optics and mathematics, working out his ideas about calculus.
