• Albert Einstein, the renowned physicist, is remembered for his theories on nuclear power, and his revolutionary concept concerning nature of light. He has made significant contributions to the field of mathematics, physics, and science.

Einstein’s Contribution to Mathematics

• While Einstein was remembered for his contributions to physics, he also made contributions in mathematics. He contributed several equations to calculus and geometry, ten of which are called the Einstein Field Equations.

Einstein field equations

• The Einstein field equations (EFE; also known as "Einstein's equations") are the set of ten equations in Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity that describes the fundamental interaction of gravitation as a result of space-time being curved by matter and energy. First published by Einstein in 1915 as a tensor equation, the EFE equate local space-time curvature with the local energy and momentum within that space-time.
