The author of the fundamental work "Mathematical principles of natural philosophy", in which he outlined the law of universal gravitation and the three laws of mechanics that became the basis of classical mechanics. He developed differential and integral calculus, color theory, laid the foundations of modern physical optics, and created many other mathematical and physical theories.
Newton continued his experiments on optics and color theory. He built a mixed reflector telescope: a lens and a concave spherical mirror, which he made and polished himself.
The first design of Newton (1668) was unsuccessful, but the next, with a more carefully polished mirror, despite its small size, gave a 40-fold increase in excellent quality
