Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. He was a theoretical physicist and is best known for his theory of relativity and his famous equation, E=mc^2, which describes the relationship between energy and mass.
Einstein was not a particularly successful student in school and struggled with the traditional method of teaching. However, he had a deep curiosity and a love for learning, which he pursued on his own. He was particularly interested in mathematics and physics, and he spent many hours reading and studying on his own.
Einstein's family moved to Munich when he was a teenager, and he finished high school there. He then enrolled in the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zurich, where he studied mathematics and physics. He graduated in 1900, and although he struggled to find a job after graduation, he eventually landed a position as a patent examiner in Bern, Switzerland.
It was during this time that Einstein made some of his most important scientific discoveries.
