Newton Reading

Question: One question that keeps popping up in my mind is, did this guy really dedicate if not his whole life, most of his life to math?

Comment: I'm really amazed at the fact that Newton, started to work and do studies on math at an early age. I mean usually you hear of a young man at his age when he started would be out. But Newton, really loved math, he must've loved it because I honestly wouldn't sit down and try to derive or solve some math puzzler that has been unsolvable for years. I just didn't think that it was possible that someone could have the love, the passion, for math as he did.
