Q
Isaac Newton - The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy 1687
A
Newton studied mathematics and physics in Cambridge University. His greatest discovery was that the same force ruled motion of the planets and all matter on earth and in space, The Law of Universal Gravitation. In his most important scientific book, The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, he states that the universe is like clock, with it’s part working perfectly together, and which could be expressed in mathematics. He also believed that the God was the clockmaker, the creator of universe, who set everything in motion.
