Albert Einstein and the Marangoni family
Christian Bracco
The sixteen years old Albert Einstein made friend with Ernestina Marangoni in the summer of 1895 in Pavia. We discuss in this article the unacknowledged link between Albert Einstei…
Perspectives on Einstein's scientific works in Milan
Christian Bracco
The Milanese period in Albert Einstein's life is a key one for the understanding of the development of his scientific questioning. While being a student in Zürich from 1896, Einste…
Einstein and Besso: from Zürich to Milano
Christian Bracco
The 1896-1901 Milanese period is a key one to understand Einstein's training background. When he was a student at the ETH in Zürich (the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zürich) from 1…
Quanta: The Originality of Einstein's Approach to Relativity?

We suggest that not only quanta may have played a role in Einstein's ideas on relativity, but that they themselves may be related to the dynamical and relativistic behaviour of the…
Poincare and relativity: the logic of the 1905 Palermo Memoir
Christian Bracco, Jean-Pierre Provost
We highlight four points which have been ignored or underestimated before and which allow a better understanding of "Sur la dynamique de l'electron": (i) the use by Poincare of act…
A simple derivation of Kepler's laws without solving differential equations
J. -P. Provost, C. Bracco
Proceeding like Newton with a discrete time approach of motion and a geometrical representation of velocity and acceleration, we obtain Kepler's laws without solving differential e…
