Faith Guided Einstein Through Life, Says Princeton Essay
Princeton reports Albert Einstein, a leading intellect of the era, spoke of a persistent faith guiding him through life’s hard problems. Born to German Jewish parents, he learned science from his engineer father and music from his mother, later mastering algebra and calculus before school. He married Miliva Maric, had two sons Hans Albert and Edward, and after divorces, wed Elsa Einstein, who managed his affairs and helped shape his public image. Einstein’s quiet life contrasted with moments of public curiosity, as when a Princeton student sought a solution to a math problem and received the correct answer directly from him.
