[Iraides Belandria]

¿How did Einstein derived that E=mC2?. ¿ Can I find an english translation of his original paper?.

(there is translated in english the second article Einstein published in Annalen der physik about special relativity -thanks dex, i missed last- in german)

It was his second article on SR in 1905 and the IV-th overall in that year.

You can simply take this integral and you'll get E = mc^2

\int^c_0{P dv} ;

where P = mv\gamma

and \gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - (\frac{v}{c})^2}}

\int^c_0 {\frac{mv}{\sqrt{1 - (\frac{v}{c})^2}} dv = mc^2
