"Einstein failed math in school"
FALSE 99% confidence
Einstein excelled at mathematics throughout his education. He mastered calculus by age 15 and scored highest in math on his entrance exam to ETH Zurich. This myth may stem from confusion about Swiss grading scales (where 6 is highest) or a 1935 'Ripley's Believe It or Not' column that got the facts wrong.
