Abstract
Ernst Waldfried Josef Wenzel Mach was born on 18 February 1838 in Chrlice, near Brno, currently in the Czech Republic. While Mach was a talented child, he had difficulties with classical languages, and his initial schooling was not trouble free. He began his schooling at the age of nine at a gymnasium, but he did not complete the curriculum.
