Possibly the most recognisable figure in scientific history, Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) was born in Germany but moved with his family to Switzerland at the age of four. An outstanding student, he found an interest in maths and physics, even going so far as to educate himself in Euclidian geometry and algebra during a summer break.

By the age of 29, he had established himself as a noteworthy scientist and lectured in electrodynamics at the University of Bern. However, an offer from the Prussian Academy of Sciences allowed him to eschew lecturing, in favour of furthering his studies.

Einstein is most famous for his Theory of Relativity, resulting in the much-quoted formula, ‘E=mc2’. However, beyond that, he wrote countless papers, some dealing with social and philosophical issues.
