Died: April 18, 1955 in Princeton, New Jersey, USA

In 1886 Albert Einstein began his school career in Munich, Germany. He studied mathematics, in particular calculus. In 1895 Einstein failed an exam, which would have allowed him to become an electrical engineer at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschole in Zurich. Upon the failing of the entrance exam to the ETH, Einstein attended a secondary school at Aarau planning to use this route to enter the ETH in Zurich. By 1901 he had a temporary job teaching mathematics at a Technical High School in Winterthur. In 1905, Einstein earned a doctorate from the University of Zurich for his thesis On a new determination of molecular dimensions.

In the first of three pages, all written in 1905, Einstein examined the discovery of Max Planck, according to which electromagnetic energy seemed to be emitted from radiating objects in discrete quantities. The energy of these quanta was

For Einstein’s third paper, he examined statistical mechanics, a field that has been studied by Ludwig Boltzmann and Josiah Gibbs.

In 1921 Einstein moved to Princeton, New Jersey, USA. While in Princeton Einstein received the Nobel Prize for his work on the photoelectric effect. He made his last major scientific discovery on the association of waves with matter in 1924. Other honours Einstein received were the Copley Medal of the Royal Society in 1925; Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1926, AMS Gibbs Lecturer in 1934 and a crater was named after him. While at Princeton he worked to unify the laws of physics. But the problems were too great for his ageing mind. Einstein promoted Zionism, pacifism and, in a secret 1939 letter to Franklin D. Roosevelt, the construction of a uranium bomb. Einstein was cremated at Trenton, New Jersey April 18, 1955 the same day he died.

Einstein in 1912 began a new phase of his gravitational research, with help from his friend Marcel Grossm
