Famous Mathematicians #5: Sir Isaac Newton
Each semester my students complete a “History of Mathematics” project. Through these projects we have learned about some pretty interesting mathematicians. This coin is in honor of Sir Isaac Newton, who created the law of universal gravitation:... all matter attracts all other matter with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Newton explained a wide range of previously unrelated phenomena: the eccentric orbits of comets, the tides and their variations, the precession of the Earth's axis, and motion of the Moon as perturbed by the gravity of the Sun.
This coin would like to travel to his native land of England and along the way visit caches that require you to solve a mathematical problem to find the cache whenever possible.
