Did Albert Einstein think that he was a better mathematician than Sir Issac Newton?

No. And no.

First of all, Einstein made it clear that he wasn’t a mathematician at all. He often used to complain about his own difficulties with mathematics and gave great credit to his old friend, Michele Besso, who, along with Marcel Grossman (thank you Deepankar), helped him with the math he needed. Besso and Grossman were both Swiss mathematicians. Besso, the closer friend, was actually a brilliant engineer. Grossman helped Einstein with tensor calculus. Theirs was a more formal collaboration. It good to have friends.

Secondly, Einstein always valued and spoke highly of Isaac Newton. He considered Newton the master. He felt deeply indebted to Newton’s breakthroughs. Whenever he compared himself to Newton, he did so humbly to emphasize how much he owed Newton.

You didn't ask, but it should be added that Einstein didn’t seek notoriety. He was a quiet man who preferred solitude. He wasn’t about blowing his own horn.

Finally, Einstein was fundamentally humble. He wasn’t lacking for self confidence, especially in his early years. But whenever people fawned over his genius, he looked for ways to be self deprecating. He was embarrassed by the accolades.

Einstein would have considered this question as very, very silly.
 
Inahuzunisha sana hasa hapo jamaa alivofumaniwa dah[emoji3][emoji23][emoji23]
 
Nilichojifunza kutoka andiko lako ni kwamba. Mara zote mtu kama una kitu ambacho wengine hawana (ujuzi,ujuvi na uelewa wa mambo kama hayo) basi usijisifie Mwenyewe wacha watu waone na waseme wenyewe. Likewise tumia muda wako mwingi kujiona wa kawaida na wengine ndio wakufagilie. Albert Einstein aliendelea kuwasifia waliokuwa karibu nae na kuonyesha kazi zake nyingi aliwategemea na bila wao yasingetokea maajabu ya ugenius wake. Tujifunze kwa hilo..
 
Einstein himself can't undermine the role of Sir Newton,,,But I wonder the poor boys that try to underate the Newton's role in development of physics and math

Achaneni na maswala ya newton wanangu leo tunakula aua hatuli?..[emoji16]

There are times when we bank on rumours and gossips. Its likely that Einstein truly got some assistance from his allies in solving some problems, but being genius doesn't imply knowing everything. On Isaac Newton, the practice among the academia is to acknowledge the outstanding works in the relevant fields. None can belittle Newton's work, but saying he was brighter compared to Einstein, this is a new discussion all along. As a note, Einstein confessed that at the age of 7 he was able to solve calculus.

Relativity by itself is a huge FACE SLAP to newton's law of universal gravity , 😂 so yes he(einstein) humbly owed him.
