Isaac Newton

A new biography of the famed English mathematician, written by the author of a highly regarded study of Stephen Hawking ( A Life in Science ). White pays less attention to Newton`s work in mathematics, however, than to his apparent obsession with alchemy and magic, which dominated the philosopher`s life and in some sense is reflected in his theorems.
