No.

Einstein was not some uneducated savant who just happened to revolutionise physics.

He had a degree and a PhD from two of the most respected institutes in Switzerland, and his academic grades throughout his life were excellent (it is often cited he nearly failed at university - the only evidence I have found of this is he performed poorly in one math class because he found it dull - he was described as a “lazy dog” for it)

He was accepted onto a graduate course, and did exceptionally well.

And quite frankly, I dare anyone who says Einstein was bad at maths to go and look at General Relativity. The maths involved is heavy and complex - and Einstein integrated the whole mathematical machinery into the theory - not just some handwaving.

How did Mileva Maric impact on Albert Einstein's life?

Mileva had an impact on Albert Einstein's life because she helped Einstein to make some theories. Some people believe that Mileva invented the E=mc2 theory and Einstein stole her idea. Contrary to the above, there is no serious evidence that she collaborated with Einstein on his theories. She twice failed the Zurich Polytechnic diploma to teach mathematics and physics in secondary schools, and there is no authenticated work by her in physics. The stories about her collaboration are based on false information. http://www.esterson.org/milevamaric.htm
