Yes he did . As a young child ,he made mechanical toys,read a great deal,and kept a journal. He started school in the village schools. He then went to Granthan Grammar School where he became a top student. He went to the University of Cambridge(Trinity College) at 19. (1661) He graduated with a B.A. in 1664. The college was closed down because of the Bubonic Plague. When it reopened he became a professor of Mathematics. During his lifetime, he was a co-inventor of calculus, discovered the law of universal gravitation, discovered Newton's 3 laws of motion, discovered the corpuscular theory of light(white light is composed of all colors,and discovered the law of cooling. He was a professor, theologian, alchemist, and a warden of the mint(money). He served in the Parliament twice. He was elected president of the Royal Society. He was knighted by Queen Anne. He did all of these things despite his mother wanting him to give up school and be a farmer. Where would we be today without Isaac newton's discoveries and the discoveries of all those who continued to study and become great inventors?
