<h3>Timeline of his early life.</h3>
<ul>
<li class="newpara">Born to Hermann Einstein and Pauline Einstein, in Ulm, in the Kingdom of Wurttemberg, Albert Einstein was one of the two children of the couple. He had a younger sister named Maja Einstein</li><li class="newpara">The family shifted base to Munich, where his father, along with his uncle, founded the Elektrotechnische Fabrik J. Einstein &amp; Cie Company, manufacturing electrical equipment based on direct current.</li><li class="newpara">Albert’s first taste of education was at the Catholic Elementary School, when he was five. After acquiring three years of education, he was transferred to the Luitpold Gymnasium. Post completing advanced primary and secondary school education, he left Germany.</li><li class="newpara">Right from the early childhood, Einstein showed signs of having an in-depth talent and skill for mathematics. During this time, he used to build models and mechanical devices, but those were for mere entertainment.</li><li class="newpara">It was at the age of ten that Einstein’s fantasy for the mathematics grew, when he was handed over popular books on science, mathematical texts and philosophical writings by Max Talmund. These included Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, and Euclid's Elements.</li><li class="newpara">In 1894, with the introduction of alternating current to the world, Einstein’s father went out of business. As such, in search of trade, the family moved to Milan initially and a few months later to Pavia.</li><li class="newpara">Einstein, however, stayed back at Munich to complete his studies at Luitpold Gymnasium. Though he did try to adhere to the wishes of his father who wanted Einstein to pursue electrical engineering, it wasn’t long before Einstein withdrew his name from the school roll list as his views clashed with the study regimen of the education center. While Einstein craved for creative learning, the institution focussed on rote learning</li><li class="newpara"> Joining his family in Pavia in 1894, he started working on what was his first paper titled, ‘On the Investigation of the State of the Ether in a Magnetic Field’.</li><li class="newpara">The following year, Einstein appeared for the examinations for the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zurich. Though he did not clear the test, his grades in physics and mathematics were exceptional.</li><li class="newpara">Adhering to the advice of the Principal of Polytechnic, Einstein enrolled himself in the Aargau Cantonal School in Aarau, Switzerland, for the academic year 1895-96, to complete his secondary schooling.</li><li class="newpara">Fearing the call for military service, Einstein renounced his citizenship in the German Kingdom of Wurttemberg in 1896. His decision was duly supported by his father. In the month of September, he passed the exam with overall good grades, once again gaining top grades in papers of mathematics and physics.</li><li class="newpara">Einstein was only seventeen years of age when he enrolled in the four-year mathematics and physics teaching diploma program at the ETH Zurich. He was awarded the Zurich Polytechnic teaching diploma degree in 1900. </li><li class="newpara">The following year, i.e. in 1901, Einstein gained Swiss citizenship.</li>
