The Early Education Journey of Nikola Tesla: From Primary School to Middle School in Karlovac

In 1870, Nikola Tesla relocated to Karlovac to pursue his high school education at the Higher Real Gymnasium, where the medium of instruction was German, a common practice in the Austro-Hungarian Military Frontier. Tesla's exceptional mathematical abilities became evident during his studies; he was capable of performing integral calculus mentally, a skill that led his teachers to suspect he was cheating. Despite the rigorous curriculum, Tesla completed the four-year program in just three years, graduating in 1873. This early academic success laid the foundation for his future innovations and contributions to science and engineering, showcasing his remarkable intellect and dedication to learning. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #NikolaTesla #HighSchoolEducation #Austro-hungarianEmpire #Mathematics #Engineering
