ALBERT EINSTEIN

Born in Ulm, Germany on March 14, 1879

Died on April 18, 1955 in Princeton, NJ

Mathematical Discovery
E=mc^2

The equation E is equal to m c-squared, in which energy is put equal to mass, multiplied by the square of the velocity of light, showed that very small amounts of mass may be converted into a very large amount of energy and vice versa.

EDUCATION
Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Six weeks later the family moved to Munich, where he later on began his schooling at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Later, they moved to Italy and Albert continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and in 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, the year he gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship and, as he was unable to find a teaching post, he accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1905 he obtained his doctor's degree.

Contribution to Mathematics
Einstein published his own special theory of relativity. This resulted in the shocking conclusion that time is not constant, weight or mass. When moving at high speeds, all of these things get compressed; only the speed of light remains the same. That happens because, said Einstein, energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared, or E = mc^2.

Theory of relativity E=mc^2
Energy is equal to mass multiplied by the speed of light.

Einstein mostly contributed his theory of relativity formula to physics but it did relate to math when being solved out

In December 1933, Einstein decided to leave Germany forever, he began working for an advanced study at Princeton

Atomic Bomb
In 1939 Einstein alerted Americans the possibility that German scientists might win the race to build the first atomic bomb and to warn Hitler may be more willing to resort to such a weapon
