Description: Portrays the contributions of Isaac Newton to the fields of science and mathematics. Shows Newton's early life and the dedication he exhibited toward learning. Later, while he was teaching at Trinity College, an outbreak of bubonic plague forced him to return home, where in eighteen months he pulled together his thoughts on four major scientific problems - developing the binomial theorem, laying the foundation for differential and integral calculus, proposing a theory on light, and formulating his laws of universal gravitation. Closes with a review of the recognition his work brought him, and pictures the modern application of his principles in rocketry.
