Imagination and Creativity Group seven Career Albert Einstein Einstein’s early life Albert Einstein was born in the German Empire on 14 March 1879. As he grew, Einstein built models and mechanical devices for fun and began to show a talent for mathematics. In 1895, at the age of 16, He failed to reach the required standard in the general part of the examination,but obtained exceptional grades in physics and mathematics. In September 1896, he passed the Swiss Matura with mostly good grades, including a top grade of 6 in physics and mathematical subjects, on a scale of 1–6 and, though only 17, enrolled in the four-year mathematics and physics teaching diploma program at the Zürich Polytechnic. Early life Einstein and Marić married in January 1903. In May 1904, the couples first son, Hans Albert Einstein, was born in Bern, Switzerland. Their second son, Eduard, was born in Zurich in July 1910. In 1914, Einstein moved to Berlin, while his wife remained in Zurich with their sons.

Career With the help of Marcel Grossmanns father Einstein secured a job in Bern at the Federal Office for Intellectual Property, the patent office, as an assistant examiner. With a few friends he had met in Bern, Einstein started a small discussion group, self-mockingly named The Olympia Academy, which met regularly to discuss science and philosophy. In 1900, his paper Folgerungen aus den Capillaritätserscheinungen (Conclusions from the Capillarity Phenomena) was published in the prestigious Annalen der Physik. miracle year  On 30 April 1905, Einstein completed his thesis, with Alfred Kleiner, Professor of Experimental Physics, serving as pro-forma advisor. As a result, Einstein was awa
