1 Albert Einstein

$E=m{c}^2$

(1)

$E_e+E_{\phi }=h\nu$

(2)

Equation 1 is arguably Einsteins most famous result. But it is his use of Planck's equation in the form 2 for which he received the Nobel Prize, explaining the photo-electric effect. Here is an inline math example: $E\Psi =H\Psi$ -- all else is bunk!

2 Einstein and Planck

verbatim: E = mc^2

$E=m{c}^2$

(3)

verbatim: 
 E_{electron} + E_{\phi} = h\nu

$E_{electron}+E_{\phi }=h\nu$

(4)

Equation 3 is arguably Einsteins most famous result. But it is his interpretation of Planck's equation 4 for which he received the Nobel Prize, explaining the photo-electric effect.
