I thought he was born on Christmas day of 1642. Once I give the question on when was Issac Newton born and there were students who said 1643 and I grade that as incorrect. Looks like I may be incorrect. But wait maybe there was a dispute because people during that time could not agree on the Gregorian calendar.
