Albert Einstein is a theoretical physicist who was born in Germany in the late 1800’s. He made a significant print in the history of science of the modern era of man. He is extensively recognized for being one of the most prominent physicists of all time. Albert Einstein is famous for developing the theory of relativity. He also had great and valuable contributions to developing a theory of quantum mechanics. In the year of 1921, he won the prestigious Nobel Prize award in the field of physics for his discovery of the photoelectric effect. He is best known for his development of the equation E=mc2. . This formula states that mass and energy are comprised of the same things, and are only different in form. His life’s work aided to expand upon the theories that had been put forth by Sir Isaac Newton. Albert Einstein was born in Germany at Ulm in Wurttemberg in 1979. His parents were both secular Jews, and both middle-class. His mother, named Pauline Kock, operated the household. He had one sister, Maria. Maria went by the name Maja, and was born two years after Albert. His Father, Hermann Einstein, was both an engineer and a salesman. In the second year of his life, the Einstein family moved to Munich, where Hermann and Einstein’s Uncle Jakob founded a company that manufactured various electrical apparati. From the age of five, Albert attended a catholic elementary school in Munich. He attended for three years. Once he turned eight years of age, he was transferred to the Luitpold Gymnasium, which is currently known as Albert-Einstein Gymnasium, where he secured his primary and secondary level education. Einstein excelled in the fields of Math and Physics from a very young age, showing obvious advancement which placed him years ahead of his peers. At the young age of 12, in just one summer, Einstein taught himself algebra and Euclidean geometry. During that same year, he also established his own evidence of the Pythagorean theorem which is a feat on its own. A written testament of Max Talmud, a family tutor, claimed that the 12-year-old prodigy was able to learn a whole geometry book in a short period of time. Einstein continued teaching himself, at the same age, calculus, and mastered integral and differential calculus two brief years later. During these years, at the age of 13, Einstein, while mastering his knowledge of Calculus, philosophy piqued his interest. Kant became his favored philosopher after being introduced to his work, Critique of Pure Reason. Einstein’s father and uncle were forced to close their manufacturing operation due to financial struggle only a few years after the had opened their joint enterprise. This came about because the company lost the bid to supply their electrical products to the City of Munich. Due to this unfortunate demise and subsequent search for an alternative business, the Einstein family moved to Milan, Italy. After only a few months, they relocated to Pavia. At this time, Einstein was 15 years old. He stayed in Munich to complete his studies while his family continued to move. At the adolescent age of 16 Einstein completed the entrance exam at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich. Though he did not meet the requisite score for the common part of the test, his mental prowess showed outstanding scores for both Math and Physics. On the recommendation of the school, he then attended the Argovian Cantonal School located in Aarau Switzerland. He resided with the Winteler family, and soon fell in love with the family’s daughter, Marie. Maja, Einstein’s sister, later married the Winteler’s son, Paul. A year after taking his entrance exam, Albert enrolled at the Federal Polytechnic school to complete a four-year physics and mathematics teaching program. At that time, Marie moved to Olsberg for a teaching post. In the class Einstein was enrolled in, he met his future wife, Mileva Maric, a young woman of Serbian heritage. Mileva was the only woman in the 6-member class. Over the next couple of years, the friendship between the two developed, and eventually became a romantic love interest. Einstein was eventually able to successfully complete the exam in mathematics and physics and was granted a teaching diploma. The following year, Albert obtained Swiss citizenship. It was in this same year that he encountered one of the biggest predicaments of his life. As a result of his studying in advance, Albert usually cut classes. This is the same reason he developed an animosity toward some of the professors, in particular toward Heinrich Weber. Because of Einstein’s behavior, Weber turned down Albert’s request for a letter of recommendation. This resulted in him being turned down for every academic endeavor that he applied to.
