Question

who is Albert Einstein and how he become genius in mathematics

Answer 1

He was a physician not a mathematician

Answer 2

Albert Einstein was a great physicist and mathematician born on 14th March 1879 in the Kingdom of Württemberg, Germany. His early education was from the ‘Catholic Elementary School’. Later he transferred to the ‘Luitpold Gymnasium’ where stayed to complete his studies till he was fifteen. When Einstein’s father lost his business of electrical equipment that worked on direct current to the innovation of the alternating current, the family decided to move to Milan and then to Pavia a few months later in search of business. As Einstein grew older so did his mathematical talent. He began to show immense aptitude in the subject and his technical abilities were no less. Although his father encouraged him for electrical engineering, Einstein rebelled with the school authorities against its system of rote learning. Finally unable to understand the way of learning in the Gymnasium, Einstein returned to his family in Italy where he wrote his very first short essay called ‘On the Investigation if the State of the Ether in a magnetic Field’.

At 16, he gave the entrance exams for the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zurich. He performed exceptionally well in mathematics and physics failing all the other subjects. He then went to Switzerland in 1895 to complete his secondary schooling. He passed the Swiss Matura with good grades especially in physics and mathematics with achieving a grade 6 on a scale from 1-6 with 6 being the highest grade. Einstein decided to enroll in a diploma teaching program at the Zurich Polytechnic.

Work

Einstein struggled to get a job after his graduation, finally securing a post as ‘assistant examiner’ at the Federal Office for Intellectual Property in Bern. There he initiated a small group named the ‘Olympia Academy’ who got together to discuss science and philosophy. Einstein did his PhD in 1905 with his dissertation being called ‘A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions’. This year was called Einstein’s ‘Miracle Year’ as he not only achieved a PhD but also published four groundbreaking papers on ‘photoelectric effect’, ‘Brownian motion’, ‘special relativity’ and the ‘equivalence of matter and energy’ which brought him fame throughout the scientific world as a leading scientist.
