1 st Current Event Presentation: Great Mathematicians By: Maria Garcia

*Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 at Württemberg, Germany. Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey. Another Mathematician from Germany would be: Carl Friedrich Gauss, who is known for

 His parents were: Hermann Einstein and Pauline Einstein  Einstein got married twice….  He married Mileva Maric on January 6, They had two sons, and one daughter. They later got divorced so:  He married Elsa Lowenthalon 2 June (she was his first cousin maternally and second cousin paternally)

 Albert Einstein received doctorate degrees in: science, medicine and philosophy from many European and American universities.  During the 1920's he Proved his theories in Europe, America and the Far East and he was awarded Memberships of all the leading scientific academies throughout the world.  *He is the most well known scientist of the 21st century.

 From the age of 5 to10 yrs. Old he attended a school, being an under achiever in every subject except math.  Albert Einstein didn’t like the teaching methods, so instead he taught himself….  At the age of 12 he started teaching himself Geometry.

 Albert Einstein became famous for the theory of relativity, which explained the basis for the release of atomic energy.  He came up with the law of mass- energy equivalence; through his famous formula E=mc². Which explains how you can get small amounts of mass to become energy.

Special Relativity -Shows independence on the speed of light. E=mc 2 This Equation shows that tiny amounts of mass could be converted into huge amounts of energy ( which predicts the making of nuclear power ). E(energy)=m(mass)*c(speed of light) 2 This is used in the real-world/classroom because constantly everyone has to convert things whether it be big to small or small to big with the outcome being greater than expected.

 In my opinion Yes, he was a Great Mathematician because not only did he teach himself but, he actually discovered how mass can be converted into energy.
