Yes. The SI unit for force is called the Newton. It was named in honour of Isaac Newton. The Newtonian reflecting telescope is also named after Isaac Newton. There are also a number of areas or items in physics which bear his name. For example Newtonian mechanics, a Newtonian fluid, Newtonian cosmology and Newtonian dynamics.
The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy was considered the most important work of Sir Isaac Newton. This was originally published in London in 1687.
Isaac Newton contributed to many fields. He is mostly remembered for his work in physics (Newtonian mechanics, gravitation, optics) and maths (calculus, binomial theory). He also contributed to the fields of Christian theology and alchemy and worked at the Royal Mint.
Calculus -- instantaneous changes. Binomial theorem, logarithms, ellipses for orbits of planets, and many others.
In April 1705, Queen Anne knighted Newton during a royal visit to Trinity College, Cambridge. The knighthood is likely to have been motivated by political considerations connected with the Parliamentary election in May 1705, rather than any recognition of Newton's scientific work or services as Master of the Mint.
