答案

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm,in the Kingdom of Württemberg in the German Empire on 14 March 1879.His father was Hermann Einstein,a salesman and engineer.His mother was Pauline Einstein (née Koch).In 1880,the family moved to Munich,where his father and his uncle founded Elektrotechnische Fabrik J.Einstein & Cie,a company that manufactured electrical equipment based on direct current.
The Einsteins were non-observant Jews.Albert attended a Catholic elementary school from the age of five for three years.Later,at the age of eight,Einstein was transferred to the Luitpold Gymnasium where he received advanced primary and secondary school education until he left Germany seven years later.Although it has been thought that Einstein had early speech difficulties,this is disputed by the Albert Einstein Archives,and he excelled at the first school that he attended.He was right handed;there appears to be no evidence for the widespread popular belief that he was left handed.
His father once showed him a pocket compass; Einstein realized that there must be something causing the needle to move,despite the apparent "empty space".As he grew,Einstein built models and mechanical devices for fun and began to show a talent for mathematics.When Einstein was ten years old,Max Talmud (later changed to Max Talmey),a poor Jewish medical student from Poland,was introduced to the Einstein family by his brother,and during weekly visits over the next five years,he gave the boy popular books on science,mathematical texts and philosophical writings.These included Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason,and Euclid's Elements (which Einstein called the "holy little geometry book").
In 1894,his father's company failed:direct current (DC) lost the War of Currents to alternating current (AC).In search of business,the Einstein family moved to Italy,first to Milan and then,a few months later,to Pavia.When the family moved to Pavia,Einstein stayed in Munich to finish his studies at the Luitpold Gymnasium.His father intended for him to pursue electrical engineering,but Einstein clashed with authorities and resented the school's regimen and teaching method.He later wrote that the spirit of learning and creative thought were lost in strict rote learning.At the end of December 1894,he travelled to Italy to join his family in Pavia,convincing the school to let him go by using a doctor's note.It was during his time in Italy that he wrote a short essay with the title "On the Investigation of the State of the Ether in a Magnetic Field."
In late summer 1895,at the age of sixteen,Einstein sat the entrance examinations for the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zurich(later the Eidgenössische Polytechnische Schule).He failed to reach the required standard in several subjects,but obtained exceptional grades in physics and mathematics.On the advice of the Principal of the Polytechnic,he attended the Aargau Cantonal School in Aarau,Switzerland,in 1895-96 to complete his secondary schooling.While lodging with the family of Professor Jost Winteler,he fell in love with Winteler's daughter,Marie.(His sister Maja later married the Wintelers' son,Paul.) In January 1896,with his father's approval,he renounced his citizenship in the German Kingdom of Württemberg to avoid military service.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 seventeen,enrolled in the four-year mathematics and physics teaching diploma program at the ETH Zurich.Marie Winteler moved to Olsberg,Switzerland for a teaching post.
Einstein's future wife,Mileva Marić,also enrolled at the Polytechnic that same year,the only woman among the six students in the mathematics and physics section of the teaching diploma course.Over the next few years,Einstein and Marić's friendship developed into romance,and they read books together on extra-curricular physics in which Einstein was taking an increasing interest.In 1900,Einstein was awarded the Zurich Polytechnic teaching diploma,but Marić failed the examination with a poor grade in the mathematics component,theory of functions.There have been claims that Marić collaborated with Einstein on his celebrated 1905 papers,but historians of physics who have studied the issue find no evidence that she made any substantive contributions.
