Mileva Maric
On December 19, 1875, Mileva Marić was born into a wealthy family in Titel in the Kingdom of Hungary, Austria-Hungary (today in Serbia) the eldest of three children of Miloš Marić (1846–1922) and Marija Ruzić - Marić (1847–1935). Shortly after her birth, her father ended his military career and took a job at the court in Ruma and later in Zagreb. She began her secondary education in 1886 at a high school for girls in Újvidék (today Novi Sad in Serbia),[1] but changed the following year to a high school in Sremska Mitrovica.[2] Beginning in 1890, she attended the Royal Serbian Grammar School in Šabac.[2] In 1891 her father obtained special permission to enroll Marić as a private student at the all male Royal Classical High School in Zagreb.[3] She passed the entrance exam and entered the tenth grade in 1892. She won special permission to attend physics lectures in February 1894 and passed the final exams in September 1894. Her grades in mathematics and physics were the highest awarded.[3] That year she fell seriously ill and decided to move to Switzerland, where on the 14th November she started at the "Girls High School" in Zurich.[4] In 1896, Marić passed her Matura-Exam, and started studying medicine at the University of Zurich for one semester.[4] In the autumn of 1896, Marić switched to the Zurich Polytechnic (later Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH)),[5] having passed the mathematics entrance examination with an average grade of 4.25 (scale 1-6).[6] She enrolled for the diploma course to teach physics and mathematics in secondary schools (section VIA) at the same time as Albert Einstein. She was the only woman in her group of six students, and only the fifth woman to enter that section.[7][4] She and Einstein became close friends quite soon.
