A FOR Albert Einstein - genius mathematician

Hey,

Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E = mc2. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."

WORDS OF WISDOM: "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reasons for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity." - Albert Einstein"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." - Albert Einstein"If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut." - Albert Einstein

DID YOU KNOW?:
Einstein requested Swiss citizenship in 1901 and took a post with the Swiss patent office.
Fear of Nazi expansion caused him to sign a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt in 1939 urging America to develop an atomic bomb. Einstein himself took no part in the bomb’s construction.
In 1940 Einstein became an American citizen.
A shy and gentle man, he was an accomplished violinist
He made the world smirk when he once made an error while helping a young student with math homework.
He is recognized as one of the greatest physicists of all time.
Einstein is also known for his contributions to the development of the quantum, space-time continuum, theory.
Einstein’s manuscripts and correspondence are presently at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton.
