Science: DID EINSTEIN REALLY FAIL MATH?

It was a pivotal chapter in the life of a self-driven learner, who didn't show signs of genius early on. Einstein talked at a much later age than other children and threw volatile temper tantrums. In fact, his development was so labored that his parents wondered whether he had a learning disability.

Einstein had trouble making friends and didn't excel in school. There's even a persistent, unfounded rumor that he flunked math in the fourth grade. The truth is, Einstein seemed to relish problem solving, and little else. He loathed the busy work of a typical school day and dropped out when he was 15.

After Einstein left school in Munich, he tried to enter college in Zurich, but flunked the entrance exam. That's where the myth that he failed math seems to most powerfully originate.

While it's true Einstein failed the exam, he didn't fail the math portion.

He did, however, bomb the botany, zoology and language sections.
 
Until he grasp the knowledge of math he worked his self around math and to figure out equations.

Did Einstein really fail math?

Einstein's genius supposedly had at least one glaring flaw -- that he failed math at some point in his educational career.

I teach that failing is often a necessary component to success. It’s the perfectionist mentality that creates fears of failure, which is a huge misconception. Ain’t met a successful person that hasn’t failed at something in life. Definitely when it comes to school.

I got denied from the first 6 schools I applied for. I failed two courses my first semester in college. I had horrible SAT and GRE scores.

And all that shit did was make me experienced. I’m no Einstein, but I am a well-respected scientist in my community.
