Sir Isaac newton was an English mathematician, physicist and chemist whose many important contributions to science (and discoveries) laid down the foundation for much of the progress in science as we know it.
He was a co-inventor of calculus; he unraveled the mysteries of light and optics; he formulated the three laws of motion, deriving from them the law of universal gravitation.

Sir Isaac Newton worked out how gravity worked, he also split white light into seven colours, the colours of the rainbow, and he also wrote Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, meaning Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy.
Newton lived from 1642 - 1727, 85 years. So a good answer would be "the late 1600s, because 1662 would put him at 20 years old.
Sir Issac Newton discovered Newtonian mechanics, Calculus, some work in Optics and Binomial series. The most famous contribution was in the field of gravity.
The achievements of issac newton are the force of gravitation which statesthat every object on the earth surface attarcts the other object with the same and equal force.

Isaac Newton was the only child of his father (also named Isaac Newton), who died 3 months before his son's birth. His mother Hannah remarried when Isaac was only three years old. She had three more children Benjamin, Mary and Hannah, his half brother and sisters to whom Sir Isaac Newton subsequently left most of his property.
His father was also called Isaac, and his mother was Hannah Ayscough before her marriage. Isaac senior died before his son was born, and Hannah remarried, to a vicar called Barnabas Smith, with whom she had three more children, Benjamin, Mary and Hannah. Isaac Newton did not marry.
