Famous German scientist Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Württemberg (Southwest Germany) on March 14, 1879 (died in New Jersey, USA in 1955). His father was Hermann Einstein, a salesman and engineer, his mother Pauline Einstein née Koch. In 1880, the family moved to Munich, where his father and uncle founded Elektrotechnische Fabrik J. Einstein & Cie, a company that manufactured electrical equipment based on direct current.
The Einsteins were non-observant Jews. Albert attended a Catholic elementary school from the ages of 5 to 10. Although he had early speech difficulties, he was a top student in elementary school -- later he had trouble finishing highschool. As he grew, Einstein built models and mechanical devices for fun and began to show a talent for math. In 1889, Max Talmud introduced the 10-year old Einstein to key texts in science, maths and philosophy, including Kant’s "Critique of Pure Reason" and Euclid’s "Elements" (which he called the "holy little geometry book").
In 1894, his father’s company failed: Direct current (DC) lost the War of Currents to alternating current (AC). In search of business, the family moved to Italy, first to Milan, then Pavia. When they moved on to Pavia, Einstein stayed in Munich to finish his studies at the Luitpold Gymnasium (his highschool). His father intended for him to pursue electrical engineering, but Einstein clashed with authorities and resented the school’s regimen and teaching methods. He later wrote that the spirit of learning and creative thought were lost in strict rote learning. In the spring of 1895, he withdrew to join his family in Pavia, convincing the school to let him go by using a doctor’s note. During this time he wrote his first scientific work, "The Investigation of the State of Aether in Magnetic Fields".
His many contributions to physics include the special and general theories of relativity, the founding of relativistic cosmology, the first post-Newtonian expansion, explaining the perihelion advance of Mercury, prediction of the deflection of light by gravity and gravitational lensing, the first fluctuation dissipation theorem which explained the Brownian movement of molecules, the photon theory and wave-particle duality, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, the zero-point energy concept, the semiclassical version of the Schrödinger equation, and the quantum theory of a monatomic gas which predicted Bose-Einstein condensation.
