Newton has stated first of all about inter conversion of mass and
energy. Einstein has derived first mathematical equation for the same.

Newton [1] has quoted in  his book  ‘Opticks’  in 1704 that
"Gross bodies and light are convertible into one another...",

[ 1 ]  Sir Isaac Newton, Opticks, pp. CVX (1704; reprinted by Dover
Publications, Inc., New York, 1952).
 After about 200 years Einstein [2] derived mathematical equation for
Newton’s perception i.e. ∆L =∆mc2 where ∆L is light energy emitted
when mass ∆m is annihilated and c is speed of light. It is the rarest
coincidence in between Newton’s hypothesis and Einstein’s mathematical
derivation.

 [2]  Einstein,  A., Annalen der Physik 18, 639  (1905).
Then  from ∆L =∆mc2   Einstein speculated  ∆E =∆mc2

Dear Ajay,
You have mentioned at your website that,
" E=mc^2 existed before Einstein, an Italian Olinto de Pretto
published E=mc^2 in valid scientific journal Lettere ed Atti, Feb.
1904, two years before Einstein.  But Pretto died in 1921, before its
experimental confirmation in nuclear physics. Other scientists such as
S. Tolver Preston, Jules Henri Poincaré, Fritz Hasenohrl, Frederick
Soddi , too contributed to the topic, before Einstein."

Can you kindly elucidate that observation?

Further, do you believe that inter conversion of mass and energy has
any bearing on the notion of Inertia?

Dear GSS
I have simply quoted facts from the history of
science that various scientists have contributed to E=mc2.
About Inertia.
Currently Inertia is defined in terms of mass.
Mass and energy are inter-convertible , hence INERTIA can be
understood in terms of energy. It would be new interpretation.
