This paper, the first part of a three-part article, gives an account of Erwin Schroedinger's growing up and studies in Vienna, his scientific work--first in Vienna from 1911 to 1920, then in Zurich from 1920 to 1925--on the dielectric properties of matter, atmospheric electricity and radioactivity, general relativity, color theory and physiological optics, and on kinetic theory and statistical mechanics.
