Newton wrote in the 17th century and vectors came into fashion in the 
19th century.

not quite. As far as I remember this was in the 1850th.

No.

In German we use an active term for learning ('lernen'), while 'being 
educated' is a passive phrase, which has no counterpart in German, 
except maybe in prisons ('belehrt werden').

The entire concept of 'education' is actually British and adopted by 
institutions in the USA.
