Mileva MaricWho is Mileva Maric? What was his contribution to science? How has it made a difference in today's society? Meliva Maric was the first wife of Albert Einstein and was a skilled mathematician and physicist. Mileva was born in 1875 in Titel, Serbia. She grew up in a very wealthy middle class family. She excelled at school! She was granted permission to attend an all-boys secondary school in Zagreb. She achieved excellent grades and eventually became a student at the Zurich Polytechnic in Switzerland (later the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology or ETH). It is the meeting place of Albert and Mileva, although they were both taking quantum physics courses, they loved each other very much and spent every waking moment together studying and developing theories, it l He called him endearing names like Dollie and she called him Johnny in the love letters and little notes they wrote to each other. In 1896-1901, Albert and Mileva both studied theoretical physics. She then went to the University of Heidelberg. She failed most of her classes and was unable to graduate. A year later, she discovered she was pregnant with her and Alberts first child, a girl named Leiserl. At that time, Albert was working on his theory of relativity and working part-time in a patent office. She gave birth to Leiserl in 1902 and the baby disappeared in 1903. The last mention of her was in a letter talking about her contracting scarlet fever. . She finally married Albert on January 6, 1903 in Bern, Switzerland. With only the blessing of the Milevas family. Due to grudges from Einstein's parents over the age difference between Mileva and Albert, Einstein then had a son named Hans Albert. In 1905, Albert published her theory of relativity and its...... middle of paper...... She did not allow herself to be overshadowed by her ex-husband's achievements. In conclusion, Mileva has had a wonderful life and may not have been recognized for all of her accomplishments, but she certainly deserves to be. I hope his story inspired future scientists to go out and show the world new and eye-opening things. Even though Mileva never graduated from any university she attended, she has made a difference in today's society because of her ability to be a woman and discover the different scientific possibilities including she disposes. Even Albert Einstein was inspired by this lovely lady: “Everything I have achieved in my life, I have Mileva to thank. She is my inspiration for genius, my protector against the trials of life and science. Without her, my work would never have started. nor finished." -Quote from Albert Einstein for Mileva Maric, in 1905.
