A Little Bit About Einstein

Albert Einstein Albert Einstein (1879-1955) is believed to be the greatest scientist of the 20th century. He developed many theories that led to many breakthroughs. With his well-known famous look, the white messy hair and the absent-minded look on his face, he was the perfect example of the typical scientist. Einstein became internationally renowned as a leading scientific thinker and as an accomplished mathematician. His contributions to science have left a lasting impression throughout the universe.

This job gave him much time for scientific research. Einstein became a Swiss Citizen in 1905. In 1933 while visiting the U.S. and England, Nazi Germany took seize of Einstein’s property and deprived his of his citizenship. Einstein on the other hand had been invited to study at Princeton, NJ at the Institute for Advanced Study. Einstein gladly accepted the invitation and lived there until his death in 1955.

His impact stretches far beyond the reaches of physics and life in the early 1900's. This physicist of phenomenal philosophy, logic, and imagination has been and still is the subject of countless catch phrases and expressions of intelligence. Albert Einstein is a forerunner of influential American icons. Because of his contribution to American science and society as an immigrant, intellectual accomplishments, and discoveries in nuclear technology, it is my belief that Albert Einstein was the most influential person of the twentieth century. First of all, Albert Einstein was the most important figure of the twentieth century because of his contribution to American science and society as an immigrant.

His studying was mainly done at home with mathematics, physics, and philosophy books (Formative). In 1894, when Einstein was 15, his parents moved to Italy, and six months later, he left the Munich without finishing his schooling to join his family in Pavia, Italy (Grosz). In 1895, he took the entrance exam for the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and failed (Formative). He renounced his German citizenship in 1896 (Grosz). He continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and he entered the Swiss Federal Technical School in Zurich in 1896 to be trained as a mathematics and physics teacher (Nobel).

Among us, there will always be those who strive to find the answers to questions like these and more. One of these people was Albert Einstein, perhaps one of the greatest human minds this world has ever known. Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, to Hermann and Pauline Einstein, in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany (“Albert Einstein”). Despite being Jewish, Einstein, his parents, and his sister Maja did not observe Jewish practices, and Albert actually attended a Catholic elementary school (“Albert Einstein”). Einstein soon developed a strong love of math and science, even teaching himself Euclidean geometry at the young age of twelve (“Albert Einstein”).

Will Craigmyle Geometry H Mr. Burton 2/15/14 Albert Einstein’s Contributions to Mathematics Albert Einstein is known to be one of the most intelligent people of our era. He thought of things that were unheard of in many fields, and mathematics is no exception. Einstein soared in mathematics, by the time he was 15 he had a suburb grasp on calculus. He personally devised the general theory of relativity, which is the geometric theory of gravitation. Not to mention Einstein was a world class physicist, and also came up with the famous mass-energy equivalence, otherwise known by the expression “E = mc2”.

After Feynman's death in 1988, physicist Hans Bethe, paraphrasing the mathematician Mark Kac, spoke of two kinds of geniuses. He explained that the ordinary kind does great things but lets other scientists feel that they could do the same if only they worked hard enough. The other kind performs magic. Bethe said, "A magician does things that nobody else could ever do and that seem completely unexpected...and that's Feynman" (Lubkin 1989, p. 23). The calculating, Nobel prize-winning scientist contributed five decades of field-defining work to the domain of physics; the bongo-playing, safe-cracking lover contributed seven decades of zest-filled life to the domain of humanity.

In 1909 Albert Einstein became a Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, and in 1911 the Professor of Theoretical Physics at Prague, he then returned to Zurich in the following year to fill in a similar post. Later in 1914 he was appointed the position of Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and Professor in the University of Berlin. He then became a German citizen in the year 1914 and remained there until 1933 when he had to renounce his citizenship for many political reasons and then emigrated to America to take the position as a Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton. That moment he new his whole life was going to change and that he was going to make history. Albert Einstein became a United States citizen late in 1940 and then retired from his post in 1945.

Einstein helped create the scientific world we all know today. He is one of the world's most famous scientists. Not only that, you may know Albert Einstein as the man with crazy hair or the man on the bicycle. Whatever you remember of him, he will always go down as one of the smartest men in history. Albert Einstein has forever changed American history.

Albert Einstein is looked at as one of the most magnificent scientific thinkers throughout history. His theories on the nature and dimensions of time and space immensely changed the way people thought of the physical world and established many of the major fundamental foundations for a tremendous amount of the our scientific discoveries and inventions in the 21st century. Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Württemberg, Germany, into a middle-class Jewish family that owned a small electrical equipment manufacturing shop. Einstein showed early signed of genius even though he did not talk until the age of three. Six weeks after he was born, his family moved to Munich; there he began school a few years later at the Luitpold Gymnasium.
