Biographical Evidence.
Because he worked with formulas which contained mathematical elements, the assumption is that Albert Einstein was an accomplished mathematician. However, biographical evidence is that he did not excel at higher levels of mathematical study, was frequently absent from lectures, and regularly given poor grades. His passion was for physics and he would employ the services of those more skilled in mathematics to check, edit and advise on his research papers before they were published. His second wife, who was also his cousin, served him well in this capacity.
Another Answer:
Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist. He used mathematics, but he was not technically a mathematician.

What degree do you need to be a radiologist?
The first step to becoming a radiologist once you have completed high school is under graduate school. This is the first part of college that you will be required to attend and is often referred to as pre-med. The final academic step to becoming a radiologist is to complete four years of medical school. The first two years of this will be spent in the classroom and laboratory studying a variety of subjects. Once you have complete all of these educational requirements becoming a radiologist means that you will still have to complete another five years of residency. This is a very demanding time however must be completed before you can become certified. In addition to these years of residency, you will also be required to complete a variety of tests to receive such certification. The order of these tests will most often be based on the specific specialty that you have chosen.

Aristotle was born in 384 BC. He was born in the ancient Greek city of Stageira on the Chalkidiki peninsula in what is now Central Macedonia.
Why did Aristotle believe in the geocentric theory?
Aristotle developed a theory that the earth was the center of the universe, and all the planets were attached to it via fifty-five invisible spheres. The moon was close enough to be within the earth's realm, and as a result, possessed the ability to go through phases. He believed these spheres were made up of a substance he called Aether.
Examples of bernoulli's principle?
An airplane wing. The top is curved, so the air traveling over the top of the wing needs to travel faster than the air going along the bottom. As the velocity of air increases the pressure decreases.
Why did Alan Turing invented the computer?
Alan Turing did not invent the computer. He worked during WW2 at breaking military codes. He also considered the concept, called a "Turing machine", which was a machine that could make itself. In his example, this was a tape machine (punched paper tape in those days) which could make itself.
Most importantly, he posed the Turing Test, which was a test to decide whether a machine could develop intelligence. This test has so far resisted a 'yes' answer, but the performance of applicants continues to get better.
There is a good reference to him in wikipedia.org.
What did Archimedes use to lift water?
One of the great scientists of antiquity, Archimedes is known for his mathematical work, his theories of mechanics and his clever use of machines in the defense of Syracuse against the Romans. It is believed he studied under followers of Euclid in Alexandria, Egypt before returning to his native Syracuse, then an independent Greek city-state. He proved that an object plunged into liquid becomes lighter by an amount equal to the weight of liquid it displaces; popular tradition has it that Archimedes made the discovery when he stepped into the bathtub, then celebrated by running through the streets shouting "Eureka!" ("I have found it!"). He also worked out the principle of levers, developed a method for expressing large numbers, discovered ways to determine the areas and volumes of solids, calculated an approximation of pi and invented a machine for raising water (called Archimedes' screw). According to legend, Archimedes used a series of machines to keep the Romans at bay for years during the siege of Syracuse. When the Romans finally made it into the city, Archimedes was killed by a soldier.

What did blaise pascal invent and why?
Source - Wikipedia (See also Related Topics link) Blaise Pascal (June 19, 1623 - August 19, 1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, and religious philosopher. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father. Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important contributions to the construction of mechanical calculators, the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalizing the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Pascal also wrote in defense of the scientific method. He was a mathematician of the first order. Pascal helped create two major new areas of research. He wrote a significant treatise on the subject of projective geometry at the age of sixteen and corresponded with Pierre de Fermat from 1654 and later on probability theory, strongly influencing the development of modern economics and social science. Following a mystical experience in late 1654, he abandoned his scientific work and devoted himself to philosophy and theology. His two most famous works date from this period: the Lettres provinciales and the Pensées. Pascal suffered from ill health throughout his life and died two months after his 39th birthday
What are different Uses of matrices in our daily lifeor what are the applications of matrices?
Matrices are used to figure who is seeded in a contest like the NCAA basketball final four. Matrices are used in any calculation that has to do with multiple variables. In business the maximum that you charge for a ticket and make the most money, I have used matrices.
No. Aristotle was not a god. There is only one true God, and the true God is the Father in heaven.
God is God and therefore not man (Hosea 11:9).
How did Archimedes find out if the crown was made of gold or cheaper materials?
He took the weight of the crown and then used water displacement to determine the volume. He could then deduce the density of the crown. Various types of metals have different densities. Density is the mass to volume ratio. Or in better terms, how tightly the molecules are packed together in a substance. If the density of the crown was different than that of any other piece of gold, it was not gold. The bath make him weight then die.
he studied how he thinks the planet earth is the center of the Universe you should know this im just a kid :0
He also studied mathematics and what that kid said
