This man's model of the Luminiferous Aether explained refraction and diffraction.
This man discovered a method for minimizing chromatic aberration in telescopes, and solved the brachistochrone problem with the curve of a cycloid. This man's model of the Luminiferous Aether explained refraction and diffraction. This man is credited with the discovery of the(*) generalized binomial theorem and he devised a method for accurately approximating the roots of functions. The first of this man's three laws of motion states that a body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by a force. For 10 points, name this author of Principia Mathematica.
