Isaac Newton was born on December 25, 1642, in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England, just months after the death of his father. His early life was troubled. His mother remarried when he was three, leaving him in the care of his grandmother. Newton’s relationship with his mother was strained, and this likely contributed to his introverted, solitary nature.
Despite being a poor student early on, Newton's interest in science and mathematics grew while studying at The King's School in Grantham. In 1661, he entered Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was introduced to the works of major thinkers like René Descartes, Euclid, and Galileo.
