Isaac Newton



        ISAAC NEWTON


             Isaac Newton was born prematurely on December 25, 1642, to Isaac and Hannah Newton. His father had died two months before his birth. Even though his life had started with an uncertain future for him, he was a man whose thoughts came to life and seemed his brain never cease to rest. He was a man who changed the world with life’s works with the forerunner discovery being calculus.

             Isaac Newton was an English physicist and mathematician. He is one of the greatest scientists of all time. H was very interested in the discoveries of Galileo and others. He thought the universe worked like a machine and that a few simple laws governed it. He was one of the world’s greatest scientists because he took his ideas and the ideas of earlier scientists and combined them into a unified picture of how the universe works.

          Through mathematics, he formulated laws of motion and gravitation to explain the workings of the universe. These laws are formulas that explains how the objects move when a force acts on them. Principia, was his most famous book, published in 1687 while he was a mathematics professor at Trinity College, Cambridge.

            He formulated the classical theories of mechanics and optics. He also invented calculus, years befor Leibniz. However, he did not publish his work on calculus, until afterward Leibniz had published his. Newton discovered that the binomial theorem was valid for fractional powers, but left it for Wallis to publish (which he did).

The Man of Relativity



      ALBERT EINSTEIN




Albert Einstein, a famous scientist, is best-known for his two theories of relativity, special and general.He completely changed the way people saw our world and the universe. He majorly contributed to the four areas of science- Light, Time, Energy and Gravity.

Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany. He grew up in Munich. He was taught how to play violin when he is still very young, and he became an excellent musician.  At a very early age, he started wondering about mysteries of the universe.

His influence could be said started in 1905, when he published a series of remarkable scientific papers and theories. Also it was the same year which he accomplished a famous equation, E=MC2, which shows that mss can be turned to energy. This equation led to the building of the atomic bomb. The first bomb only had 0.6 grams of mass but scientists turned it into enough energy to destroy a whole city. He also came up with the special theory of the relativity, stating that light is constant and that it is impossible to go faster than the speed of light.

The man behind Apple





STEVE JOBS

          Steve Paul “Steve” Jobs was an American entrepreneur and is known as the co-founder, chairman and CEO of Apple Inc.. He also co founded and served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios, and became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, when Disney acquired Pixar.

They have no choice but to put the baby for adoption because Schieble’s family objected to their relationship. He was adopted at birth by Paul Reinhold Jobs and Clara Jobs, an Armenian American.

          The Jobs family moved from San Francisco to Mountain View, California when Steve was five years old. Paul worked as a mechanic and a carpenter and taught his son rudimentary electronics and how to work with his hands. He showed Steve how to work on electronics, demonstrating to his son how to take apart and rebuild electronics such as radios and televisions which results Steve being interested and developed a hobby of technical tinkering. Clara worked as an accountant who taught him to read before he went to school.

          Steve Jobs died on October 5. 2012. He will be remembered for many things, not the least of which are the incredible products he helped create, but his legacy also extends to the lasting impact he has had on gaming, technology, and entertainment.
