Autorenporträt

George Boole (1815 - 1864) was born in Lincolnshire, England. He was born of humble origin as the first son of a shoemaker. For financial reasons, he did not receive the best education, but nevertheless he learned Latin from a local bookseller and taught himself French, German, and Greek. At the age of nineteen, Boole had to support his parents and siblings. He started teaching at a local school, and later set up and ran a boarding school with the help of his family.
