Albert einstein
March 14, 1879 - Apirl 18, 1955
Albert's childhood
There have been loads of stories around which said that Einstein failed Math at school, but his family said it was absolutely not true and he was always top of his class at math and could solve some really complicated problems.
He loved geometry and algebra, and nobody taught him these subjects, he did it all by himself! He also always tried to prove different math theories on his own. Yep, super smart he was.

The young Mr.Einstein
Although he wasn’t a top student at school in everything, when he got a bit older he certainly made up for it, when he and his family moved to Switzerland. In 1900 he started teaching math and physics.
Even though he was all over the place, a bit shabby and a bit difficult to understand, in 1915 he rocked the world with his Theory of Relativity. In 1919 the theory was proven right by an experiment. He became famous literally overnight and all of a sudden he got invitations to go all over the place, as well as getting honors from all over the world!
He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. He certainly did come a long way from that boy who was told he would amount to nothing! That headmaster was probably eating his words.
His other discoveries led us to have all sorts of things like garage door openers, television and DVD players today. He was named ‘Person of the Century’ in 1999 by Time magazine.
One of his favorite things to do was to head out onto the lake in a boat and take his notebook with him, to think and write everything down.father: Hermann Einstein, 1847-1902, German-Jewish featherbed salesman, two children
