His father, Hermann Einstein, was a salesman and engineer who with his brother founded Elektrotechnische Fabrik J. Einstein & Cie, a Munich-based company that manufactured electrical equipment. His mother, the former Pauline Koch, ran the family household. Einstein had one sister, Maja, born two years after him. Einstein attended elementary school at the Luitpold Gymnasium in Munich.

It is the world’s most famous equation. With this equation he completed his theory of special relativity. Special relativity is one of the least natural theories ever created in the history of science, yet it is central to physics. E=mc^2 Einstein concluded that mass and kinetic energy are equal since the speed of light is constant which also means that mass can be changed into energy and energy can be changed into mass. This is important to mathematics because the foundation of mathematics is numbers and we need it in order to solve or do anything. With this equation we need to multiply and divide which are all included in
