Einstein's First Proof 
by [Steven Strogatz]

Summary

The article discusses what is believed to be one of the earliest mathematical proofs connected to Albert Einstein, showing that even before becoming famous for relativity, Einstein had a strong interest in mathematical reasoning and problem solving. 
It describes how a simple but elegant proof from his youth reveals his early talent for finding patterns and building logical arguments, qualities that later shaped his scientific work. The story is a reminder that great discoveries often begin with curiosity and small mathematical explorations, and that behind the famous theories there was a young thinker developing his skills step by step.
