Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was born 14 March, 1879 in the Kingdom of Württemberg, German Empire.

Einstein at age 9

Albert Einstein's father was a salesman who later operated an Electrochemical factory. At this tender age and his father bought him a compass which goes a long way to influence his interest in Science. Einstein was not able to talk at the age of 3 years until one day at dinning table he said "Soup is too hot!" . Because he was a late talker they taught he was going to be a dull useless boy who will be a dependent in the future but Einstein prove them wrong.

Einstein and his wife

Albert Einstein attended a Catholic elementary school in Munich from the age of 5 for three years. At the age of 8, he was transferred to Luitpold Gymnasium where he received advanced primary and Secondary School education until he left the German Empire seven years later. He finished his studies at Luitpold Gymnasium at age 15. His father intended for him to pursue electrical engineering but Einstein clashed with authoritise and resented the school's regimen and teaching method. He later wrote that the spirit of learning and creative thought was lost in strict rote learning. He later joined his family in Pavia in December 1894. They convince him to go to school.

Einstein always excelled at math and physics from a young age, reaching a mathematical level years ahead of his peers. The twelve-year-old Einstein taught himself algebra and Euclidean geometry over a single summer. Einstein also independently discovered his own original proof of the Pythagorean theorem at age 12. A family tutor Max Talmud says that after he had given the 12-year-old Einstein a geometry textbook, after a short time "Einstein had worked through the whole book. He thereupon devoted himself to higher mathematics... Soon the flight of his mathematical genius was so high I could not follow."His passion for geometry and algebra led the twelve-year-old to become convinced that nature could be understood as a "mathematical structure".Einstein started teaching himself calculus at 12, and as a 14-year-old he says he had "mastered integral and differential calculus".

In 1895 , At the age of 16 Einstein took the entrance examinations for the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zürich (later the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule, ETH). He failed to reach the required standard in the general part of the examination, but obtained exceptional grades in physics and mathematics. On the advice of the principal of the polytechnic school, he attended the Argovian cantonal school (gymnasium) in Aarau, Switzerland, in 1895 and 1896 to complete his secondary schooling. While lodging with the family of professor Jost Winteler, he fell in love with Winteler's daughter, Marie. Albert's sister Maja later married Winteler's son Paul. In January 1896, with his father's approval, Einstein renounced his citizenship in the German Kingdom of Württemberg to avoid military service. In September 1896, he passed the Swiss Matura with mostly good grades, including a top grade of 6 in physics and mathematical subjects, on a scale of 1–6. At 17, he enrolled in the four-year mathematics and physics teaching diploma program at the Zürich polytechnic school. Marie Winteler, who was a year older, moved to Olsberg, Switzerland, for a teaching post.

Last Days of Einstein

On 17 April 1955, Einstein experienced internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, which had previously been reinforced surgically by Rudolph Nissen in 1948. He took the draft of a speech he was preparing for a television appearance commemorating the State of Israel's seventh anniversary with him to the hospital, but he did not live long enough to complete it.Einstein refused surgery, saying, "I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share; it is time to go. I will do it elegantly."He died in Princeton Hospital early the next morning at the age of 76, having continued to work until near the end. During the autopsy, the pathologist of Princeton Hospital, Thomas Stoltz Harvey, removed Einstein's brain for preservation without the permission of his family, in the hope that the neuroscience of the future would be able to discover what made Einstein so intelligent.Einstein's remains were cremated and his ashes were scattered at an undisclosed location. In a memorial lecture delivered on 13 December 1965, at UNESCO headquarters, nuclear physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer summarized his impression of Einstein as a person: "He was almost wholly without sophistication and wholly without worldliness ... There was always with him a wonderful purity at once childlike and profoundly stubborn.
