About Me

I was born on January 4, 1643 in a manor located in the country of Linconshire. I was very small as a I child considering my premature birth, yet in my opinion I was still healthy and strong. I never got to know my real father because he died about 3 months prior to my birth, but my mother attempted to fill that hole left in her heart by leaving me and remarrying when I was very young. Although my mother was trying to live a better life, leaving me with grandma and going to live with someone else caused so much hatred towards her and my step father. As I was growing up I attended The King's School, where I was eventually removed from before my graduation. After getting kicked out I headed back home, where I encountered my mother. To no surprise the man whom she married the second time had died and she attempted to force me into working to support her. Thankfully the headmaster of Kings School took a liking to me and persuaded my mother to allow me to finish off my remaining time. I graduated with flying colors attaining a very good final report. Soon after I was admitted into Trinity College on June 1661. Although the education there was substantial, I disagreed with most of it, simply because it was largely based on the crazy ideas of Aristotle. So I based most of my studies off of more modern philosophers, which inspired me to create the binomial theorem and something I like to call calculus. Unexpectedly the school closed down, but I didn't let it get to me and I continued work at home. As I was growing up a man named Leibniz copied my ideas of calculus, but I didn't let it get to me. I had so much to work on and that was so far behind where I was at and it'd been so easy to prove that I created it first, I really didn't put to much effort into it. As I kept working I discovered: classifying cubic planes curves, contributed to the theory of finite differences, used fractional indices to solve Diophantine equations, used power series and created a new formula for discovering pi. I also did workings in optics, mechanics and gravitation. Before my death, I moved to London acquiring the job of warden of the Royal Mint. This is when I created a better form of currency for England, that helped stabilize the economy severely. I was soon after appointed President of the Royal Mint in 1703. The rest of my years were served quietly until my death on March 31, 1727

My Interests

Any and all things that focus on the study of mathematics. Also I enjoy doing work in optics, mechanics of gravitation, and other topics such as speed of light and the law of cooling. I am also a religious man, but religious in my very own unique view, in the sense that God does actually exist, but most of the information in the bible is farcical as proved by scientific fact.

I'd like to meet:

Some of the modern philosophers who inspired some of my work along the way such as: - Descartes, Galileo, Copernicus and KeplerAlso I wouldn't mind meeting either of these men so I could beat them up: - Leibniz, step-father, Aristotle

Music:

Not my cup of tea, the idea of listening to a women scream into my ears for long periods of time just gives me a headache.

Movies:

N/A

Television:

What is this?

Books:

Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, The Bible and any of my other laws, or theories I have created throughout my entire life.

Heroes:

My grandmother Margery Ayscough and Henry Stokes, headmaster of The Kings School, for saving me from my mothers wraith and inspiring me to keep furthering my education.
