From the
Globe Theatre we learn that teaching is a great way to help others learn, but,
as humans, we often forget what we have been taught. However, Isaac Newton,
along with many other great thinkers of the world, showed us a way of how to
remember this. And he shows this characteristic during a period of time known as the Scientific Awakening. During this time, there
were many great scientific discoveries made and many books filled with
the scientific knowledge of this age. One specific book, written by Isaac
Newton, is called The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. It
describes the laws of motion, acceleration, force, and other things. This book
has helped many mathematicians along with many others in different fields of
study to better understand their own work.
The
characteristic of learning that I want to point out here is the importance of
writing down what you learn. Our memory isn't perfect. We will forget
things if we don’t either apply it constantly or just write it down. And I am
sure that many people in this world are grateful for everything that Isaac
Newton wrote down.
