Is it true that Albert Einstein failed mathematics at school?
No. A reference article directly states that Einstein did not fail math as a child, noting records show he was an exceptional student who dismissed the flunked-math story as a myth. A Wikipedia biography adds that he failed only the general portion of the polytechnic entrance exam while performing with distinction in physics and mathematics.
