Mileva MaricWho is Mileva Maric? What was his contribution to science? How did she make a difference in today's society?Meliva Maric was Albert Einstein's first wife and was an accomplished mathematician and physicist. Mileva was born in 1875 in Titel, Serbia. She grew up in a middle class family that was very wealthy. He excelled in school! He obtained permission to attend a boys' secondary school in Zagreb. She got fantastic grades and eventually became a student at the Polytechnic University of Zurich in Switzerland (later the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, or ETH). This is the meeting place of Albert and Mileva, where they both took courses in quantum physics they became very fond of each other and spent every waking moment together studying and making theories, he called her by affectionate names like Dollie and she called her him Johnny in love with the love letters and the notes they wrote to each other. In 1896-1901 Albert and Mileva both studied theoretical physics. Then he went to Heidelberg University. She failed most of her classes and failed to get a diploma. A year later she discovered she was pregnant with her and Alberts' first child, a daughter named Leiserl. By then Albert was working on his theory of relativity and had a part-time job in a patent office. She gave birth to Leiserl in 1902 and the child disappeared in 1903. The last mention of her was in a letter talking about her scarlet fever infection. . Then she finally married Albert on January 6, 1903 in Bern, Switzerland. With only the blessing of the Milevas family. Due to Einstein's parents' resentment regarding the age difference between Mileva and Albert Einstein later had a son named Hans Albert. In 1905, Albert published his theory of relativity and his...... 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 has inspired future scientists to come out and show the world new, eye-opening things. Even though Mileva never obtained a diploma from any of the universities she attended, she has made a difference in today's society thanks to her ability to be a woman and to discover the different possibilities she has in science. Albert Einstein was also inspired by this lovely lady "Everything I have achieved in my life, I have to thank Mileva. She is my brilliant inspirer, my protector against the difficulties of life and science. Without her, my work it would never begin or end." -Quote by Albert Einstein for Mileva Maric, in 1905.
