Isaac Newton was not only a scientist but he is also a mathematical hero.
This man has always been my mathematical hero. He is a well-known scientists. What people don’t know is that he was also a mathematician. As a science and maths student, when I was first exposed to his mathematical work I was inspired. In this essay I will be giving more information about him. From the time he was born to the time he attended university and contributed to mathematics discoveries that are useful till today and my reasons for choosing him out of all people that are mathematicians.
My mathematical hero is Isaac Newton. He is more known as a scientists but he was also a mathematician. He was an English mathematician and he studied at Cambridge. He was born …show more content…

He discovered “Mathematical principle of natural philosophy” which was published in 1687. He formulated 3 laws of motion. He also used intensive mathematics to discover the gravitational acceleration law with the formula F=Gm1m2/r^2. “G” was a constant of 6,67x10^-11. It took him two years to solve the maths behind this value. He is well known for being interested in nature and using nature to solve his calculations. His laws of motion were influenced by a falling apple. In mathematics he contributed to the study of power series, the binomial theorem to non-integer exponents. He also shares credit with one of the well-known mathematician Gottfried Leibniz for development of calculus.
Isaac Newton is my maths hero because he was not good in maths, however through hard work and dedication he ended up mastering mathematics. He did not only master it, he became famous because of it. This teaches me that I should not give up just because I’m not getting it. It teaches me to work hard. Even the most known mathematicians did struggle with maths. You can never be born knowing skills but you learn them as you practise. He is also my maths hero because some of his discoveries included
