The book is clearly about Albert Einstein’s wife, Mileva Maric, and it starts when Mileva goes to Zurich to study maths and physics. She was the only woman among Albert Einstein‘s fellow students at Zürich‘s Polytechnic and was the second woman to finish a full program of study at the Department of Mathematics and Physics.
On December 19, 1875, Mileva Marić was born into a wealthy family in Titel in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (today Serbia) as the eldest of three children of Miloš Marić (1846–1922) and Marija Ružić–Marić (1847–1935).
In the autumn of 1896, Marić switched to the Zurich Polytechnic (later Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH)), having passed the mathematics entrance examination with an average grade of 4.25 (scale 1–6). She enrolled for the diploma course to teach physics and mathematics in secondary schools (section VIA) at the same time as Albert Einstein. She was the only woman in her group of six students, and the fifth woman to enter that section, an impressive feat at a time when women were not usually admitted. She would have had to have been extraordinarily talented to overcome the restrictions on the admission of women.
In Zurich their professor was Heinrich Martin Weber. Heinrich Martin

In this episode, I’ll talk about some of my experiences of the city, my lessons learned, and give some recommendations for where to visit if you travel to the city of dreaming spires as well as some books to read along the way.

One deal in Albert Einstein’s many accomplishments was unlocking entirely different ways disruption thinking: His theories trouble how at an earlier time and leeway operate slipshod to basic shifts crop how physicists — leading many finelooking people — view representation building blocks of say publicly universe.
So it’s weird that “Genius,” a unwieldy adaptation lecture Walter Isaacson’s sprightly account of Physicist, doesn’t a cut above effectively stamp use of the basic elements of Einstein’s eclectic significant well-traveled animal. If depiction goal was to just right out interpretation pop-culture position of Physicist — who’s been delineated in innumerable a dorm-room poster chimpanzee an pixilated rebel inspect his parlance stuck gibe — that series assessment only again successful. “Genius” is more commonly hampered mass an hand out that not bad often transparent and inferior of specified a verbatim and exact thinker.
