English polymath Isaac Newton was born #OTD in 1642.
Newton's book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, first published in 1687, achieved the first great unification in physics and established classical mechanics. Newton also made seminal contributions to optics, and shares credit with German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for formulating infinitesimal calculus, though he developed calculus years before Leibniz.

1. Portrait of Isaac Newton (1642-1727). Newton is shown in a formal seated or standing pose, befitting his status as a scientist, mathematician, and member of the gentry. He is dressed in the fashion of a gentleman of his time, often wearing a long, dark robe or coat, sometimes over a waistcoat and cravat. Newton’s features are typically portrayed with precision: A high forehead and prominent nose, symbolizing intelligence and authority. Deep-set, thoughtful eyes, suggesting a reflective and intellectual demeanor. His white or gray wig, a common accessory for men of his era, frames his face, adding a sense of dignity.
