Albert Einstein
Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm Germany. He lived there with his parents, Herman and Pauline. After a year in Ulm, due to the failure of his father's electrical and engineering workshop, the Einstein family moved to Munich (the capital of Bavaria), where after a year in residence there, Einstein's mother had Maja, Einstein's sister. Despite the fact that he was Jewish, from age five until age ten, Einstein attended a Catholic School near his home. But, at age 10, Einstein was transferred to the "Luitpold Gymnasium," where Latin, Greek, History, and Geography were pounded into childrens' heads. His parents wanted him to finish school, get his diploma so he could go to a University, and then become an electrical engineer. But Einstein had other Ideas for his future. Einstein's father wanted him to attend a university but he could not because he did not have a diploma from the Gymnasium. But there was a solution to this problem over the Alps, in Zurich, there was The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology which did not require a diploma to attend. The one thing it did require was the applicant to pass an entrance exam. But then yet another problem arose, most scholars

New York: Simon and Schuster, 1956. "Einstein, Albert." The World Book Encyclopedia. 1991 ed. Einstein has one of the most spectacular uses of geometry in his theory of gravitation, also known as the general theory of relativity. "Einstein discovered that by considering the properties of space as though it were curved, he could account for the effects of gravity of gravity without using the customary "pull" that we intuitively associate with gravity. He found that he could explain the natural world by using geometry" (Stwertka 20).
