Boole was born in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England, a shoemaker [5] and Mary Ann Joyce. [6] He had a little bit more formal formal academic teaching. -
Boolean George
Boole participated in the Mechanics Institute, in the Greyfriars, Lincoln, which was founded in 1833.[2][10] Edward Bromhead, who knew John Boole through the institution, helped George Boole with mathematics books[11] and he was given the calculus text of Sylvestre François Lacroix by the Rev. George Stevens Dickson of St Swithin's, Lincoln.[12] Without a teacher, it took him many years to master calculus.[1] -
Boolean George
At age 19, Boole successfully established his own school in Lincoln.[13] He continued making his living by running schools until he was in his thirties.[14] Four years later he took over Hall's Academy in Waddington, outside Lincoln, following the death of Robert Hall. In 1840 he moved back to Lincoln, where he ran a boarding school. -

in1841 Boole published an influential paper in early invariant theory.He received a medal from the Royal Society for his memoir of 1844, On A General Method of Analysis. It was a contribution to the theory of linear differential equations, moving from the case of constant coefficients on which he had already published, to variable coefficients. -

Boole immediately became involved in the Lincoln Topographical Society, serving as a member of the committee, and presenting a paper entitled, On the origin, progress and tendencies Polytheism, especially amongst the ancient Egyptians, and Persians, and in modern India.[15] on 30 November 1841. -

Boole became a prominent local figure, an admirer of John Kaye, the bishop.He took part in the local campaign for early closing.[ With Edmund Larken and others he set up a building society in 1847. -

In 1847 Boole published the pamphlet Mathematical Analysis of Logic. He later regarded it as a flawed exposition of his logical system, and wanted An Investigation of the Laws of Thought on Which are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities to be seen as the mature statement of his views. -

Boole's status as mathematician was recognised by his appointment in 1849 as the first professor of mathematics at Queen's College, Cork (now University College Cork (UCC)) in Ireland. -

He met his future wife, Mary Everest, there in 1850 while she was visiting her uncle John Ryall who was Professor of Greek. -

They married some years later in 1855.[20] He maintained his ties with Lincoln, working there with E. R. Larken in a campaign to reduce prostitution -

Boole was awarded the Keith Medal by the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1855 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1857.He received honorary degrees of LL.D. from the University of Dublin and the University of Oxford. -
Boolean George
In 1857, Boole published the treatise On the Comparison of Transcendents, with Certain Applications to the Theory of Definite Integrals, in which he studied the sum of residues of a rational function. Among other results, he proved what is now called Boole's identity: for any real numbers ak > 0, bk, and t > 0.Generalisations of this identity play an important role in the theory of the Hilbert transform. -
Boolean George
Boole completed two systematic treatises on mathematical subjects during his lifetime. The Treatise on Differential Equations appeared in 1859, and was followed, the next year, by a Treatise on the Calculus of Finite Differences,a sequel to the former work. -

in late November 1864, Boole walked, in heavy rain, from his home at Lichfield Cottage in Ballintemple[40] to the university, a distance of three miles, and lectured wearing his wet clothes. He soon became ill, developing pneumonia. As his wife believed that remedies should resemble their cause, she put her husband to bed and poured buckets of water over him – the wet having brought on his illness.Boole's condition worsened and on 8 December 1864,he died of fever-induced pleural effusion.
