But where did this strange delusion come from, that Einstein did not know mathematics after all? The fact is that Einstein failed the first time to enter the Swiss Higher Polytechnic School of Zurich. However, during the entrance exams, he nevertheless passed the physics and mathematics with the highest score, but did not reach the desired results in some other subjects. In addition, a year later, at the age of 17, Einstein, pulling up the rest of the subjects, entered this university. Therefore, the reason for the emergence of this myth is still not fully understood.
It is also interesting to think about why this myth still exists and is not forgotten? Everything is simple here. The fact is that lazy people in such fictional stories find an excuse for themselves. For example, those who do poorly in school and believe in the myth of Einstein may say: "I'm like Einstein, I just don't strain ahead of time, but someday, I'll show what I'm capable of". Yes, but they won't show anything.
