The Biography of Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was born on March 14th, 1879 in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany, into a Jewish Family. His mother's name was Pauline Einstein, and his father's name was Hermann Einstein, who was a salesman. In 1800, The Einstein Family moved to Munich, in which Hermann Einstein (Albert's Father) and his uncle founded a company called Elektrotechnische Fabrik J. Einstein & Cie. Which made electrical equipment that allowed Munich suburbs of Schwabing to be provided with the first light. Einstein went to a Catholic elementary school during the 1800s, he who was a top student even with his early speech difficulties. His mother had forced him to play the violin, as she provided him with violin lessons. He didn't like to go to his violin lessons and he finally quit, but has remained to listen to Mozart's violin sonatas for pleasure.

"A deep lasting impression" was made on Einstein, as his father showed him a pocket compass, when he was five years old. As years went by, Einstein made himself mechanical devices for fun, and started to enjoy the talent he gained for mathematics. Einstein, at ten years old, was introduced to key science and philosophy texts by a family friend who was a medical student during 1889. Einstein called "The Holy Little Geometry Book." Einstein started to understand the concepts of deductive reasoning, and when he was twelve, he learned Euclidean geometry from a school booklet, and then soon began to look at calculus.

Einstein went to the Luitpold Gymnasium, which is a secondary school in Munich, Germany, during his early teens. His father planned for him to look at electrical engineering, but it didn't work out too well. In the Einstein family moved to Italy in Mi...

Sadly, he didn't have enough time to complete it. He died at the Princeton Hospital early in the mourning, and his brain was removed by Thomas Stoltz Harvey for preservation. His remains were cremated and his ashes scattered in various locations. The last statement that Einstein wrote is at The Hebrew University. However, his theory of gravitation was left incomplete. Time Magazine named Albert Einstein the "Person of the Century" in 1999. Also, Albert Einstein was recorded to be the fourth most admired person of the 20th Century. The contributions made by Einstein will continue to have a global impact on the concepts and principles for science and math for generations and worlds to come.
