Albert Einstein is perhaps the most recognizable name of all scientists and mathematicians.  He is widely considered to be one of the most intelligent people in the worlds history, and the name "Einstein" is even routinely used in place of the word "genius." 

Einstein was born into a Jewish family in Germany, but he spent time in Italy, Switzerland, and eventually the United States.  When he passed away, he was residing in Princeton, New Jersey.

Einstein's contributions to math and science are immense, physics in particular.  Arguably, his best known achievement is his theory of relativity, and the famous equation E = mc².
