He got his education at The King's School, Grantham until 1659. In 1661, he was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge. He graduated in 1665 and went to Cambridge in 1667. Newton also developed infinitesimal calculus parallel to a college named Leibniz. The argument about its true creator lasted until the death of Leibniz. In 1669 Newton was elected Lucasian Professor of Mathematics for his discoveries. Newton's greatest work was the Principia, in which he describes the force of gravity. He became universally know for this work. Newton continued to write up until his death in London on March 31, 1727.
