Albert Einstein1

e in science and mathematics education.2 He graduated at the age of twenty-one. In 1893 he married a classmate from his school in Switzerland, Mileva Maric, who was Hungarian. They had two children. Upon Alberts graduation in 1900, he found employment as a patent examiner in a patent office in Bern, and began tutoring part time. This was not a challenging job for Einstein, and allowed him plenty of time to pursue his personal pursuits. In 1905 Einstein published three papers that he submitted to the University of Bern. These papers concerned themselves with the properties of light, the theory of special relativity and Einstein famous equation E=mc2. The first of these papers was on Brownian motion. He observed this concept by using a highly powered microscope, focused on pollen particles submerged in water. He found that the pollen particles moved in a random fashion, and the speed increased as the temperature of the water rose. He found that this happened because the pollen particles were being pushed around by the water particles. The random motion that this created would create different amounts of movement, which he statistically calculated.His second paper explained the Photoelectric Effect. The Photoelectric Effect happens when light hits metal which makes the metal emit electrons, which in turn generate energy. This is how auto-matic opening doors are operated.Paper number three dealt with molecules. He wrote about sugar dissolving in water. The paper explained the dilution and dissolving of sugar and also able to calculate the size of the sugar molecules. Although similar studies had been done before this was the first time that it was applied to liquid.3Ironically on Einsteins initial submission of this paper to the University of Bern it was rejected. Shortly thereafter, the University recanted their decision and appointed Einstein as a professor.2 He left his job at the patent office in 1909. Shortly thereafter...
