Albert Einstein
•
Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. When he was 1, his family moved to
Munich. Albert’s father was Hermann Einstein, who was an engineer and salesman. Albert Einstein’s
mother was Pauline Einstein. Albert’s uncle and father founded a company that manufactured
electrical equipment named Elektrotechnische Fabrik J. Einstein & Cie. Albert Einstein attended a
Catholic School from the age of five to ten. Albert was a top student in his school, but had early speech
problems. Albert attended Catholic School because his family was non-observant Jews.
•
Albert began to show his talent for mathematics by building models and devices. Hermann Einstein
and Albert’s uncle’s company failed in 1894. The Einstein family moved to Italy, first to Milan, then to
Pavia a few months later in search for a job or business. Albert stayed in Munich after the family
moved to Pavia to finish his studies at Luitpold Gymnasium. Albert’s father wanted Albert to pursue
electrical engineering, but instead Albert resented the school’s regimen and teaching method.
•
Einstein and his future wife Mileva Maric had a daughter named Lieserl, who was born in Novi
Sad in early 1902. In January 1903 Albert Einstein and Mileva Maric got married. In Bern
Switzerland 1904 the couple’s first son, Hans Albert Einstein was born. In July 1910 their second son
Eduard Einstein was born. While Mileva stayed in Zurich with the boys, Einstein moved to Berlin. On
February 14, 1919 Mileva and Albert got a divorce. After being in a relationship with a woman named
Elsa Lowenthal since 1912, Albert and Elsa got married. Elsa died in December 1936 because of
heart and kidney problems.
•
Albert was presented his doctorate from the University of Zurich in 1905. He published four
groundbreaking papers in the same year on photoelectric effect, special relativity, and the equivalence
of matter and energy. One of the things that make Albert Einstein noticeable was E=MC2. Albert was
a very recognized leading scientist in 1908. That same year at the University of Berne, he was
appointed lecturer. In 1911 Albert became a professor at Karl-Ferdinand University. Albert was
awarded the Noble Prize in Physics in 1921. Albert immigrated in 1933 because he thought that the
Nazis were getting to powerful. Albert became an official American citizen in 1940. He was asked and
offered the right to have the position of the President of Israel, but declined the offering. Albert started
experiencing internal bleeding on April 17, 1955. The internal bleeding was caused by the abdominal
aortic aneurysm having a rupture. Albert passed away at the age of 76 early the next morning at
Princeton Hospital.

Math & Space
•
Math and space have been intertwined for many years. You can see this in the field of astronomy.
Astronomy is the study of celestial object such as stars, planets, comets, nebulae, galaxies and
many more. It uses math because of the great distances involved with all of these objects. Also,
math is used in astronomy by scientists trying to figure out motions and the formation and
development of the universe.
•
Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences. Many ancient civilizations used it, such as the
Babylonians and ancient Greek. They performed methodical observations of the night sky. They
made calendars based on the moon and sun cycles. Another astronomical artifact that was found
in England was called Stonehenge.
•
All of those prehistoric artifacts and data led to what is now known as modern astronomy.
During the 20th century, astronomy split into two branches called observational and theoretical.
Observational astronomy is focused in acquiring data from observations of celestial objects, which
is then analyzed using basic physics. Theoretical astronomy is oriented towards the development
of computer models to describe astronomical objects and phenomena. The two fields work
together using different types of math.
•
In conclusion, math and space have been linked foe eons. Distances from Earth to other
planets, stars and other celestial bodies are found using math. Astronomy even has equations
using equations with their own sort numerical system. A few of these are the parsec and the
Astronomical unit. An astronomical unit is the distance from here to the sun (93,000,000) miles. A
parsec is a unit of length equal to 3.26 light years.

Women in Mathematics
•
There are many women involved in mathematics. A few of the women that were involved were
Maria Agnesi, Sophie Germain, Caroline Herschel, and Amalie Emmy Noether.
•
Maria Agnesi was born on May 16, 1718 in Milan, Italy and died January 9, 1799. Maria was
the very first female mathematician for modern times. Maria’s father made sure that she received
an education from some of the finest tutors. She was also the first woman to be appointed as
professor at a university. Maria wrote and published the first comprehensive Calculus textbook.
•
Sophie Germain was born on April 1, 1776 and died June 27, 1831. When Sophie was thirteen
years old, her parents kept her isolated from the turmoil of the French Revolution by keeping her
inside. She read from her father’s library to keep from being bored. After Sophie discovered
geometry, she taught herself mathematics. Her parents would always try to keep her from
studying. So she studied at night. They realized, and took away candles, and even took her
clothes away. All to keep her from reading at night. She still found ways to study. Her parents
eventually gave in to her mathematical study.
•
Caroline Herschel was born in Hanover, Germany on March 16, 1750 and died January 9,
1848 at the age of 97. Caroline was a mathematician and an astronomer. She was the first woman
to discover a comet. Caroline also went on to discover seven more. She helped discover the
planet Uranus. Caroline had other hobbies such as singing but she abandoned her singing career
for astronomy.
•
Amalie Emmy Noether, known as Emmy, was born on March 23,1882 in Germany and died on
April 14,1935. Emmy studied arithmetic and languages. Her graduation qualified her to teach
French and English in girls’ schools, which was the career that she intended to follow. Later, she
changed her mind and decided that she wanted to study mathematics at the university level.

Math & Space
“Quoted from (http://er.jsc.nasa.gov/SEH/math62.html)”
Things like matrix algebra, conic sections, or calculus are used in places like
NASA and other major space corporations all around the world. The things they
may use them for are things like the distance of a star in miles or light-years or
how much volume a planet has.

Four Tips to Studying
•
•
•
•
Take Good Notes
Study Over Review Sheets
Study in a Quiet Place
Study with Friends
•
The first thing to taking good notes are writing down all the important information, by important
information I mean whatever your teacher tells you that needs to go into your notebook. Some
other things that you would write down are all the problems that the teachers go over. If you do
that it might help you know what you get wrong when you do a problem. That is how you take
good notes.
•
If you were to look over your review sheets that may help you on the test. You should look over
your review sheet right before the test because it is like a mini cheat sheet. The review sheet may
have some questions on it that might be on the test. That is why you should look over the review
sheets.
•
If you would study in a quiet place you might understand the information better. You may also
need to study with some music on, but that might get you distracted. I would advice you not to
watch TV. while you are trying to study because then you will get sidetracked and start watching
the TV. instead of studying. That is why you should study in a quiet place.
•
If you study with your friends you might understand the information better. The reason you may
understand it better is because you friend may know more than you know, or they may understand
it better than you. That is why you might want to study with a friend.

Elizabeth Ruth Bennett
Elizabeth Ruth Bennett was the first women to receive a PhD in mathematics from the university
of Illinois. She was born in, Shawnee PA in 1903.she wrote the Primitive groups with a
determination of the primitive groups of degree 20.
Winifred Edgerton Merril
September 24,1862 –September 6,1951
She taught mathematicians for many years at different institutions at the age of 83 she took a
doctors degree.
Olga Arsen’enua Oleinik
July 2, 1925-October 31,2001
She wrote 370 published papers and eight books her main research was concerned with algebraic
geometry partial differential equations and mathematical physics.
Elizabeth Morgan Cooper
January 19, 1891-May 17, 1967
Cooper was a highly acclaimed teacher. Her philosophy of teaching mathematics centered on
student participation and discovery. She wrote an unpublished algebra text called "Letters to
Anne" containing letters written to the young Anne explaining and teaching algebra from an
informal point of view. She believed that "to attempt, unaided, a proof or a problem may be better
preparation for later proofs and problems than merely to play an attentive part in the class
development of the problem," and that one should give "lessons in which skillful teacher questions
make the student do the thinking, so that all the new ideas have been actually expressed by them,
the chief words of the teacher in the new field being 'What?', 'How?', and 'Why?'

Pierre Simon DeLaplace
•
Pierre Simon De La Place was born in Beaumont-en-Auge Normandy in 1749, In 1788 Pierre
married Marie-Charlotte De Courty De Romanges on May 15, she was 20 years younger than
him. A year later in 1789 his son was born.
•
Pierre went to school at the University of Caen and became an astronomer and a
mathematician. His occupations were mathematician and politician. Pierre’s early published work
in 1771 started with differential equations and finite differences but he was already starting to think
about the mathematical and philosophical concepts of probability and statistics. Before his
election to the academy in 1773, one of his papers “Mémoire sur la probabilité des causes par les
événement” was published while his second paper was published in 1776. In 1776 Laplace
published a memoir which he first explored the possible influences of a law of gravitation that did
not act instantaneously. In 1784-1787 he published some memoirs of exceptional power. In 1784
“Théorie du Mouvement et de la figure elliptique des planets” was reprinted and the third volume
of “Méchanique céleste” was also reprinted. In this he determined the attraction of a speroid on a
particle outside it. This is the introduction into the analysis of spherical harmonics or “LaPlaces
coefficients”.

Mechanic celeste is in a number of 5 volumes made by LaPlace. In 1799 the first two
volumes are about calculating the motions of the planets, determining their figures and resolving
tidal problems. In 1802 and 1805 the third and fourth volumes were published these gave
applications of the methods and several astronomic tables. In 1825 the fifth and final volume was
published it is about historical information.
Pierre Simon de LaPlace died in 1827 on March 5 he was 77 when he died.
