Albert Einstein BiographyBiography of Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was born on the 14th of March, 1879, and died on the 17th of April, 1955. During that time he changed the way the world thinks. Few names are quite as famous as Einstein's in the world of science and his contributions are taught in schools alongside the likes of Galileo and Hippocrates. This is quite an honor for a man only 55 years gone from this world, and makes the life of Albert Einstein of great interest.

Albert was born in Germany to a family of non-observant Jews. He was a brilliant mind from the start, and always curious about the way the world worked around him. A poor medical student was his tutor for six years during his late childhood and early teen years, and enthusiastically taught him everything he could about the many educational pursuits young Albert was interested in.

After having dropped out of secondary school after clashing with his father about becoming an electrical engineer, which he thought did not allow for enough creative thinking, Albert attempted to enter a university. Though he got great marks in math and science he failed the exam as a whole and his family paid for him to finish secondary school at another institute.
