Isaac Newton English mathematician, astronomer, and physicist, Died, March 31, 1727 In Winchester, England- Isaac Newton died last night March 31,1727. Newtown enjoyed his last few days with his niece in Winchester. Newtown was a great mathematician, astronomer and physicist who help change modern philosophy. As a young boy, he was race to become a local farmer like the rest of his family. Refusing to become a local farmer he enrolled in the king’s school then enrolled into the University of Cambridge’s where he discovers his passion for modern philosophy, under the guide of René Descartes; Isaac Newton took notes that he later called, “Questiones Quaedam Philosophicae” (History.com).
