His book <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophi%C3%A6_Naturalis_Principia_Mathematica" title="Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica">Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica</a></i> ("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"), first published in 1687, laid the foundations for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_mechanics" title="Classical mechanics">classical mechanics</a>. Newton also made seminal contributions to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics" title="Optics">optics</a> and shares credit with <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Leibniz" title="Gottfried Leibniz">Gottfried Leibniz</a> for the invention of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus" title="Calculus">calculus</a>.<br> Newton's <i>Principia</i> formulated the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion" title="Newton's laws of motion">laws of motion</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_law_of_universal_gravitation" title="Newton's law of universal gravitation">universal gravitation</a>, which dominated scientists' view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. By deriving <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Kepler" title="Johannes Kepler">Kepler's</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler%27s_laws_of_planetary_motion" title="Kepler's laws of planetary motion">laws of planetary motion</a> from his mathematical description of gravity, and then using the same principles to account for the trajectories of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet" title="Comet">comets</a>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide" title="Tide">tides</a>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_precession" title="Axial precession">precession of the equinoxes</a>, and other phenomena, Newton removed the last doubts about the validity of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliocentrism" title="Heliocentrism">heliocentric</a> model of the cosmos. This work also demonstrated that the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamics_%28mechanics%29" title="Dynamics (mechanics)">motion of objects</a> on Earth and of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_mechanics" title="Celestial mechanics">celestial</a> bodies could be described by the same principles. His prediction that the Earth should be shaped as an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblate_spheroid" title="Oblate spheroid">oblate spheroid</a> was later vindicated by the measurements of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Louis_Maupertuis" title="Pierre Louis Maupertuis">Maupertuis</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Marie_de_La_Condamine" title="Charles Marie de La Condamine">La Condamine</a>, and others, which helped convince most <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Europe" title="Continental Europe">Continental European</a> scientists of the superiority of Newtonian mechanics over the earlier system of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Descartes" title="René Descartes">Descartes</a>.<br> Newton also built the first practical <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflecting_telescope" title="Reflecting telescope">reflecting telescope</a> and developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism" title="Dispersive prism">prism</a> decomposes white light into the many colours of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum" title="Visible spectrum">visible spectrum</a>. He formulated an <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_law_of_cooling" title="Newton's law of cooling">empirical law of cooling</a>, studied the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound" title="Speed of sound">speed of sound</a>, and introduced the notion of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtonian_fluid" title="Newtonian fluid">Newtonian fluid</a>. In addition to his work on calculus, as a mathematician Newton contributed to the study of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_series" title="Power series">power series</a>, generalised the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_theorem" title="Binomial theorem">binomial theorem</a> to non-integer exponents, and developed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_method" title="Newton's method">Newton's method</a> for approximating the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_of_a_function" title="Zero of a function">roots of a function</a>.<br> Newton was a fellow of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_College,_Cambridge" title="Trinity College, Cambridge">Trinity College</a> and the second <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucasian_Professor_of_Mathematics" title="Lucasian Professor of Mathematics">Lucasian Professor of Mathematics</a> at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Cambridge" title="University of Cambridge">University of Cambridge</a>. He was a devout but unorthodox Christian and, unusually for a member of the Cambridge faculty of the day, he refused to take <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_orders" title="Holy orders">holy orders</a> in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_England" title="Church of England">Church of England</a>, perhaps because he privately rejected the doctrine of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity" title="Trinity">Trinity</a>. Beyond his work on the mathematical sciences, Newton dedicated much of his time to the study of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_the_Bible" title="Chronology of the Bible">biblical chronology</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy" title="Alchemy">alchemy</a>, but most of his work in those areas remained unpublished until long after his death. In his later life, Newton became president of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Society" title="Royal Society">Royal Society</a>. He also served the British government as Warden and Master of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Mint" title="Royal Mint">Royal Mint</a>.<br>
