Einsteins Discoveries
  • Theory of Relativity
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Quantum Theory
  • Habilitation Thesis
  • Tensor Calculus

4
Explanation of Discoveries
  • Theory of Relativity-describes the motion of
    particles moving at close to the speed of light
  • Statistical Mechanics-models a system in terms of
    the average behavior of the large numbers of
    atoms and molecules making up the system

5
More Explanations
  • Quantum Theory-the branch of mathematical physics
    treating atomic and subatomic systems and their
    interaction with radiation in terms of observable
    quantities
  • Habilitation Thesis-the extra post-doctoral
    qualification needed to lecture at a German
    university

6
One More Explanation
  • Tensors-are "multidimensional boxes of numbers".
    So, for example, a 0-tensor is a scalar, a
    1-tensor is a vector, a 2-tensor is a matrix, etc
