Bollocks you have. He'd got his degree when he came up with the theory
of relativity. He'd got his degree before he published any work at all.
He had trouble with maths, yes. Given the place he'd studied and tjhe
fact he studied physics, I'd say the maths he had to do were far above
what you've had to.
And no, he was neither a high school failure or dropout. He failed the
entry exam the first time, but this was because of the humanities apart
( which does now not exist anymore, incidentally ), so he went to the
gymnasium in Aarau. After which he passed.
