Summary
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, in 1879. His father was a businessman involved in manufacturing electronic parts. After the family moved to Milan in 1894, Einstein failed an examination that would have allowed him to pursue an engineering diploma at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. In 1895, he spent time in a high school in Aarou. He returned to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in 1896, graduated in 1900, and later became a professor at the University of Zurich in 1909. He received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921.
