Annotation #2

1. Provendido, Shayne "Albert Einstein Vs Isaac Newton." Albert Einstein Vs Isaac Newton. 9 Nov. 2007. EzineArticles.com. 24 Oct 2008 <http://ezinearticles.com/?Albert-Einstein-Vs-Isaac-Newton&id=825148>.

2. In this article, Shayne told about how Sir Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, alchemist, and natural philosopher. He was considered to be one of the greatest minds the world has ever known. In his written study named Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, he described the 3 laws of motion and the universal gravitation. The discoveries of the 3 laws of fundamental laws of planetary motion was only understood when Newton discovered the laws of Gravitation and motion. He also described the principles of conversation of momentum and angular momentum. He also invented the reflecting telescope and developed a theory of color based on his observation that a prism decomposes with light into a visible spectrum. He formulated a law of cooling and studied speed of sound. He also demonstrated the Generalized Binomial Theorem, which developed the "Newton Method." He shared the credit of developing Calculus with Gottfried von Leibniz. Sir Isaac Newton also devised an equation called Inverse Square Law of Attraction, which states that the force of gravity is related to the inverse square of the distance between the two objects.
