Mathematics is my favorite subject at school. In general, I like studying - I never miss classes when I have mathematics. Our teacher loves to tell different stories about prominent people in the world. One of them was Isaac Newton, the greatest mathematicians of all times. He was born in 1642 in the village Wools Thorpe, England. His father, who died before Isaac was born, was a farmer. The farm was situated in a lonely place where there were no schools, and Newton got his education in a school in the neighboring village. At the age of twelve he was sent to the Grammar school and very soon he became the top of the class. Newton was absolutely different form other boys – he did not hate part in games like other schoolmates, he spent a lot of time constructing models. He was known as a solitudinarian. And he was too. Isaac made a model of a windmill, a wooden clock that was driven by water, and many other things that are useful for everyday life. Studying and knowing something new was his passion. His mother wanted her son to become a farmer and at the age of fourteen he began working on the farm too like his father did. However he was always busy with reading books, constructing models or observing various phenomena in nature. His mother made up her mind to send him to Cambridge University to study mathematics when he was eighteen years old. He was the best student in this case too. As everybody knows, once, when young man was sitting in the garden of his house, a pipe apple felt on his head. Newton took the apple and thought, why the apple had fallen down and why it had not fallen up instead. He came to the conclusion that the apple and the earth were pulling each other and started to think that the same laws of gravity extended far beyond the earth. Gravity had been known long before Newton’s time.
