While at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Hoffmann collaborated with Einstein and Leopold Infeld on the classic paper Gravitational Equations and the Problem of Motion. What Einstein, Infeld, and Hoffmann showed was that the equation of motion followed directly from the field equation that defined the geometry. ;Albert Einstein: Creator and Rebel 《爱因斯坦：创造者与叛逆者》 (with Einsteins secretary, Helen Dukas.)

His real studies were done at home while reading science and math textbooks. He left his school in Munich at age 15, to join his parents who had moved to Italy.;Albert graduated from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in 1900 as a secondary math and physics teacher. He obtained his Ph.D. from University of Zurich. He later became professor at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Gesellschaft in Berlin. ;The 1905 papers: Three seminal papers researched and written by Einstein. The first concerning electromagnetic energy The second proposing the special theory of relativity The third concerning statistical mechanics;Scientific Works; Different Curious Intelligent Musical;The c
