Another influence to Isaac Newton was Galileo. You see Isaac Newton was born on the year that Galileo died. At that time Galileo was known really well. That influenced Isaac Newton.
Isaac Newton entered Trinity College at the University of Cambridge in 1661. He received his bachelor of arts degree in 1665 as the Great Plague was sweeping through London. The University of Cambridge closed as a precaution and Newton fled to his family's farm in Lincolnshire 90 km (60 miles) to the north. In the summer of 1666, Newton began work on his theory of universal gravitation.
