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
