Albert Einstein

A famous scientist and mathematician.

Life

He was born in Ulm, Kingdom of Württemberg, German Empire.

At age 76 he died, April 18, 1955 in Princeton, New Jersey. He was German, Swiss, and American.

Influenced

Albert Einstein was helped by many and inspired by many.

Helped and Inspired

Educated

At an early age Jakob Einstein, Einstein's uncle, had a fascination about mathematics and got Albert into it too. Albert Einstein, 12 years old, found a geometry book, and he read it many times. Albert A. Michelson set a measurement that lasted for 45 years and began work that would lead to Einstein's theory

of relativity.

Albert Einstein dropped out of school three times. But before school, Albert's parents, Hermann Einstein and Pauline Einstein, were worried that he had a disability because he was a slow talker.

Schooling

Einstein went to four different schools. In 1895, he started at Luitpold Gymnasium in München, Germany. Then that same year he moved to to go to Aargau Cantonal School in Aargau, Switserland until 1896. Now, he moved to Zürich, Switzerland for ETH Zürich school until 1901. His last school was the University of Zürich in 1905. Einstein's IQ even showed that he was a genius with it standing at 160.

Accomplished

A major accomplishment from Einstein was his

equation of E=mc^2. E represents enargy, m is mass,

and c^2 is a very large number because it is the speed of light squared. This theory, like some, was sprung out of the ground from decades of experiments. In 1905, his miraculous year, he published 4 theoretical papers in Germany's academic journal, Annalen Der Physik, the papers included new interpretations on the photoelectric effect, the formula for the equation E=mc^2, and the exploration on the theory of Special Realitivity. Special theory of Realitivity, 1905, Realitivity (English Translation, 1920 & 1950), and the General THeory of Realitivity in 1916.

Significance

Albert Einstein is important because he made a lot of contributions that we sill use today, like E-mc^2 and the Realitivities. He won the Nobel Prize in 1922 for physics in finding new interpretations on the photoelectric effect. He has won many awards and contributed years of his ife into his work to invent things that we are using today. If he was never moved or never dropped out of the schools that he did that would be more information that we do not know, so Einstein took his time to figure those things out for us to educate us.
