THE APPRENTICESHIP OF
EINSTEIN
(Continued from page 11)
become the famous professor, Einstein
often praised Bernstein's books. When
on May 27, 1921, I called his attention to
the disparagement of that work by his
biographer, he replied, "Bernstein’s work
is a very good one even now and at
that time it was the best of its kind. It
has exerted a very great influence on my
whole development. I do not think much
of Force and Matter, but this book, too,
made a deep impression on me.”)
Contrary to popular belief he had an
unusual predilection for mathematics, and
because of this fact I gave him, after his
promotion to the fourth grade, Spieker’s
textbook on geometery. I used to visit
his home every week, and whenever I
came he delighted in showing me his so
lutions of new problems which he had
found in the book. Sometimes I gave
him helpful advice in the solution of
rather complicated propositions, thus in
troducing him, as it were, into the study
of mathematics, and soon he had mas
tered the whole textbook. He then turned
to higher mathematics, studying all by
himself Luebsen’s excellent work on the
subject, which I had also recommended to
him. His progress in mathematics was so
rapid that very soon I was no longer a
march for him on the subject.
