Biographical summary

Mileva Maric was born in Titel in the province of Vojvodina, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Serbia) to a Serbian family in 1875 .

She was educated in good schools, she belonged to the Greek Orthodox Church and in 1896 she entered the Polytechnic Institute of Zurich to study Mathematics and Physics , being the only female student and she was the first woman to graduate in physics. Mileva Maric and Albert Einstein met in 1896 at the Federal Polytechnic Institute of Zurich studying physics. She was the only woman enrolled in mathematics and was the first woman to graduate in physics. Einstein and Mileva began to fall in love immediately

Mileva Maric’s promising destiny was cut short in 1901 when she became pregnant, abandoned her studies just before passing the final exam, and took refuge in her sister’s house in Serbia, where in 1902 she gave birth to a daughter who was little more than A year later she will be given up for adoption.

In that same year, on January 6 , 1903 , the marriage between Maric and Einstein was celebrated , when he, at 24 years old, managed to finish his studies and thanks to the father of a common classmate at the Polytechnic, he obtained his first job as a technician. third at the Berne Patent Office .

From that moment Mileva Maric subordinated her professional ambitions to her marriage, as a mother again in 1904 and as her husband’s assistant.

In 1909 Maric and Einstein became parents again, but this time of a child affected by mental retardation who would require special attention and care, in which his mother would devote herself.

From this marriage were born Hans Albert Einstein , who would later be a professor of Hydraulic Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley , and Eduard Einstein , who was admitted to a mental health institute for suffering from schizophrenia .

Death

Mileva led a life unknown to the world, and died alone in Zurich in 1948.

• 1886/87 She studies at the Novi Sad girls’ school.
• 1888 Changes school to secondary school in Sremska Mitrovica. This school had an excellent Physics and Chemistry laboratory. (Trbuhovic-Gjuric 1983)
• 1890 Graduation. Mileva Marić graduates from her in mathematics and physics with the best average (Krstic, 1991). Marić is accepted as a private student at the Royal College of Zagreb. There she receives special permission to attend physics classes, which was reserved for men (Trbuhovic-Gjuric, 1983; Krstic, 1891).
• Summer 1896 Marić studies medicine for a semester at the University of Zurich.
• Winter 1896 Marić begins to study mathematics and physics in Switzerland at the Zurich Polytechnic Institute. There he met Albert Einstein.
• 1897 Studies in Heidelberg, Germany (number theory, differential and integral calculus, elliptic functions, heat theory and electrodynamics) (Trbuhovic-Gjuric, 4. Auflage, 1984, p.49, and ETH-Archiv der wissenschaftlich-historischen Abteilung )
• 1900 Mileva Marić fails to obtain a diploma to teach at the Zurich Polytechnic. [The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, Vol. 1, Ed. J. Stachel, 1987, p. 247]
• 1901 Mileva Marić becomes pregnant by Albert Einstein. She kept the subject a secret, until her biographers discovered it in 1986. Then she Marić left the Zurich Polytechnic without any certificate and did not continue her doctorate.
• 1902 In January Lieserl is born in Novi Sad. It is assumed that Albert never saw the hidden baby until it was discovered in 1986 by biographers thanks to some intimate letters (several referring to Lieserl were burned by her parents, the Savics, and her Serbian grandparents). Unlike Mileva, there was no indication that Albert informed his friends and relatives about Lieserl. Her whereabouts are unknown, although it has been speculated that she was given up for adoption or died of scarlet fever, consistent with information emerging from her correspondence with Albert Einstein.
• 1903 Marriage to Albert Einstein in Bern, Switzerland. Lieserl’s death from scarlet fever? The last intimate letter showing that Lieserl was still alive dates from September 1903.
• 1904 On May 14, Hans Albert is born .
• 1910 On July 28, Eduard “Tete” is born in Zurich.
• 1913/14 They separate: Mileva Marić remains in Zurich with her children and Einstein travels to Berlin to take a new job. • 1919 Mileva finally grants Albert a divorce so that he can marry her cousin Elsa Einstein.
• 1921 Albert Einstein wins the Nobel Prize, and gives Mileva Marić the money for it. This was part of the divorce agreement. She uses the money on medical care for her son Eduard, who suffers from schizophrenia.
• 1948 Mileva Marić dies in Zurich.
