George Boole - Google Doodle

2/11/2015

Today's Google doodle marks the 200th anniversary of the mathematician George Boole's birthday. George came to Ireland in about 1849 when he was appointed the first professor of mathematics at Queen's College, Cork.

George Boole's sister, Mary Ann, educated George Francis FitzGerald and his siblings when they were younger. Presumably Mary Ann had come over to Cork with her brother. Whether or not George FitzGerald received any guidance or ever met George Boole I don't know, but he must have been an inspiration to him.
