Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was born in Germany on March 14, 1879.As a kid he had trouble
learning to speak. His parents thought that he might be mentally retarded. He
was not smart in school. He suffered under the learning methods that they used
in the schools of Germany at that time so he was never able to finish his
studies. In 1894 his father's business had failed and the family moved to Milan,
Italy. Einstein who had grown interested in science, went to Zurich,
Switzerland, to enter a famous technical school. There his ability in
mathematics and physics began to show. When Einstein was graduated in 1900 he
was unable to get a teaching appointment at a university. Instead he got a
clerical job in the patent office at Bern, Switzerland. It was not what he
wanted but it would give him leisure for studying and thinking. While over
there he wrote scientific papers. Einstein submitted one of his scientific
papers to the University of Zurich to obtain a Ph.D. degree in 1905. In 1908 he
sent a second paper to the University of Bern and became lecturer there. The
next year Einstein received a regular appointment as associate professor of
physics at the University of Zurich. By 1909, Einstein was recognized throughout
Europe as a leading scientific thinker. In 1909 the fame that resulted from his
theories got Einstein a job at the University of Prague, and in 1913 he was
appointed director of a new research institution opened in Berlin, the Kaiser
