Переведите текст. extraordinary facts about an extraordinary man einstein took longer than usual to begin to speak. he began some time after his second birthday. he was also rebellious towards authority when he was at school. these two facts may have been the origin of a popular myth that einstein was a bad student and that he failed at school. this is simply not true. einstein was already outstanding at physics and very good at maths when he was young. at sixteen he wrote a brilliant essay that had a direct link with his later work in relativity the myth may also come from the fact that when he was sixteen he tried to get into the prestigious federal polytechnic in zurich. the normal entrance age was eighteen. it seems he failed some of the non-science subjects, doing badly in french for example. the school did not take him. but remember, he was two years younger than usual. the next year, when he was just seventeen, he passed. in later life einstein was well known for making some mistakes in his maths, but he was more a physicist than a master mathematician. and the maths he was doing was not exactly 2+2=4
