There is no doubt that Isaac Newton is considered one of the greatest mathematical and scientific geniuses in human history, and his theories laid new foundations for modern science, foundations on which the vast majority of our understanding of the universe still rests. This very brief introduction provides a rich description of Newton's personal and scientific life, where the author explains Newton's scientific discoveries, unveils the forces that shaped his mind, and discusses his radical and shocking religious beliefs and controversial convictions, to paint a picture of a highly complex man, a man who now appears to our world as having dedicated more time to studying alchemy and theology than to rational science, a man whose beliefs had a tremendous influence on political, intellectual, and religious aspects in Europe. Rob Elif, professor of intellectual history and history of science at the University of Sussex, and a contributor to the History of Science journal, has published several articles on the beginnings of the modern era and the history of science. He is also the editor-in-chief of the Newton International Project, which aims to produce a single free electronic edition of all of Newton's works.
