Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1843, according to the modern calendar. He was born in Ulstertherp Manor, Lincolnshire. The Manor region is located in Ulstertherp-by-Colstworth. Even when Newton was born, the use of the most modern contemporary Papal calendar did not begin in England. So his date of birth was registered as Christmas Day 1842. He was born three months after the death of his father Isaac. His father was an ordinary farmer in the village. Newton was very small at birth. His mother, Hannah Escoff, often said that the Newton of his childhood could be easily inserted into a quart mug. At the age of three, her mother remarried and moved in with her new husband, Reverend Bernabeus Smith. Newton was not with his mother at the time. Granny Marjorie spends her days caring for Escoff. Newton could not like his honest father. He was also angry with his mother for marrying him. Newton published a list of his sins until he was 19 years old. Evidence of his resentment towards his mother can be found from that list. The list read: "Intimidate my parents by telling them I will burn down their house." Newton's mother's second marriage resulted in three children.
Newton's primary education was completed in a small school next to his house. At the age of 12 he was sent to study at Grantham's grammar school. There he lived in the home of a druggist and dealer. Newton was unrivaled in this school from which his talents can be identified. At first no one could compete with him but at one point another boy was able to compete well with him. From the very beginning of school life, Newton's greatest inclination was towards making various kinds of instruments. At that age he made windmills, water clocks, kites and sun-dials. Also important construction was a four-wheeled vehicle that the rider could pull by himself. Newton's honest father died in 1858. Then his mother came back to Ullsthorpe and picked him up from school. The purpose was to teach the farm work at home and make arrangements for the future. But he soon realizes that Newton has no inclination to work on the farm. Newton's uncle was the rector of Burton Caglis. Following this uncle's advice, the family sent him to study at Trinity College, Cambridge.
He passed matriculation from Newton Trinity College in 181 AD. While studying in college, he worked as a servant in different places of the college to cover the cost of his studies. There is no documentation from Trinity College that he has done anything big as a student. However, it is known that he mainly studied mathematics and mechanics. At Trinity College, he first studied Kepler's theory of optics. He then turned his attention to Euclid's geometry. Because he could not understand some of the diagrams mentioned in a book of astrology bought from the fair. To understand these, Euclid needed to know geometry. Nevertheless, Newton did not understand anything in the book. Angered by this, he removed it as a trivial book. But later his teacher Isaac Barrow asked him to read the book again. The book was written on Descartes' geometric research and work.
