Newton was born in the hamlet of Woolsthorpe England. He was the only son of a local farmer also named Isaac Newton and of Hannah Ayscough. His father died three months before Newton’s birth. Newton was a tiny and weak baby, and he was not expected to survive his first day of life. He was deprived of his father before birth. He soon lost his mother as well, because within two years she married a second time. Her husband, the well-to-do minister Barnabas Smith, left young Isaac with his maternal grandmother and moved to a neighbouring village to raise a son and two daughters. For nine years, until the death of Barnabas Smith in 1653, Isaac was effectively separated from his mother. Newton’s pronounced psychotic tendencies, excessive quarrelsomeness, extreme irritability and short-temperedness have been ascribed to this traumatic event. Here are some interesting facts about Newton. When Isaac Newton was an infant, he could fit inside a litre-size mug. Isaac Newton’s father’s name was also called Isaac Newton. When Newton was just three years old, his mother remarried and left him.  His mother wanted him to be a farmer. He was bullied at school because he was shy and of quiet nature. His uncle, Rev William Ayscough helped him to get into Trinity College. He became a mathematics professor at Cambridge University at the age of 27. Students poorly attended Newton’s lectures, but he held the lectures anyway. His focus was more in his research work. He was not a smart investor. He is known for science;

however, he wrote more about religion and alchemy. Principia ( e ) was one of Isaac Newton’s most well-known books. Isaac Newton never got married.
