Son of Sarah and Abraham's second son, he was the younger half-brother to Ishmael. His mother gave him this name (which means "God laughs") because she laughed when an angel predicted that she would bear a son in her old age (90's). Genesis reports that Isaac, rather than Ishmael, became the heir to Abraham and Sarah's property and to the promises God made to them.
Isaac or Yitzchak (Hebrew: יִצְחָק, Standard Tiberian ; Arabic: إسØٰق, ; "he will laugh") is the son and heir of Abraham and the father of Jacob and Esau as described in the Hebrew Bible. His story is told in the Book of Genesis.

ISAAC comprises compressible Euler/Navier- Stokes computational fluid dynamics code. It includes the ability to calculate the Euler equations for inviscid flow or the Navier-Stokes equations for viscous flows. It uses a domain decomposition structure to accommodate complex physical configurations. It can calculate either steady-state or time dependent flow.
ISAAC is a computational fluid dynamics code developed to test and apply high order turbulence models for compressible flows around complex geometric configurations.
Isaac ben Hanukkah was a Jewish ruler of the Khazars mentioned in the Khazar Correspondence. He probably reigned in the mid to late ninth century CE. Little is known about his reign.
