George Boole was born in 1815, in Lincoln, England, into the family of a shoemaker with an original mind and a burning thirst for knowledge. Signs of George's exceptional and diverse talents surfaced in his early childhood. Because his family's economic situation was always precarious, he only received a very basic and brief formal education, but for his informal education, not even the sky was the limit. He studied English and elementary mathematics with his father and read every book that fell into his hands: history, biography, science, poetry, novels. Friends and public libraries were the main sources of material.
