Question

Is it true that Einstein taught at Princeton University in New Jersey?

Please give a source

Answer 1

he taught at princeton in 1932

Answer 2

"In Princeton Einstein continued his work on a unified field theory

which he had already started in Berlin. His efforts in this

direction were not successful.His search for the basic principles of

physics became an "obsession". "Assessing today Einstein's insistence

on unified field theory, I would say, yes, it was an obsession.

But what a grand obsession! It gave direction to later theoretical

research, and its influence on fundamental physics will extend well

into the 21st century." (C.N.Yang,   Taken from  www.europhysicsnews.com/full/34/article4... -

Answer 3

I've read many books about einstein, and only one of them mentioned that einstein actually taught at princeton. However, this source states that Einstein did teach there.

Answer 4

Yes, in the 1930s.

Answer 5

From Princeton University's website (complete with picture)

"Albert Einstein began his relationship with the University in 1921, when he visited Princeton to receive an honorary degree and to lecture about his theory of relativity. At that time, the University was a major center for the study of theoretical physics. Einstein moved to Princeton Township in 1933, where he lived until his death in 1955.

While living in Princeton, Einstein worked at the newly founded Institute for Advanced Study. Though the Institute is independent of the University, its original offices were located on Princeton's campus. As such, from 1933 to 1939, Einstein's office was 109 Fine Hall (now Jones Hall) and he also conducted work in the Palmer Physics Laboratory (now the Frist Campus Center). Though he was never a member of Princeton's faculty, Einstein led a University seminar on the mathematics of relativity and often helped students with math problems."
