George Bolee Research Paper
George Boole
George Boole was a well known mathematician. He was born in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England on November 2, 1815 and died on December 8, 1864 in Ballintemple, County Cork, Ireland. Boole has achieved many accomplishments and has won many awards for his accomplishments. Boole did not study for an academic degree, but he started working at the age of 16 as an assistant school teacher with an interest in language. However, in 1835 he opened his own school and began to study mathematics on his own. He studied the works of Pierre-Simon Laplace and Joseph-Louis Lagrange, which later became the basis of his first mathematics paper. After receiving encouragement from Duncan Gregory, he began publishing in the Cambridge Mathematical …show more content…
I would bring social studies and the life of Boole into the mathematic topic and have students find out the history of the mathematics that was invented by the mathematician. I would ask students to find how the mathematics was invented. I may have the students find one interesting fact about the mathematician and research more information on the one interesting fact and present to the class. This would be good with group presentations and it would give students a chance to learn more about researching on the internet and in the library. Students could help one another with research skills. Another way to integrate the work of George Boole into mathematics would be to introduce the Boolean algebra to the students and how to use this type of algebra that was invented by the mathematician. The students can learn about a type of algebra and the history behind the algebra and the inventor of the algebra. More mathematic teaching topics could include having the student's research different mathematicians who were also born in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England; who were born on November 2nd; or who also invented some type of algebra. You can have students compare and contrast between the different mathematicians. There are many ideas that you could use for teaching about mathematicians, but I think these ideas will work more for the intermediate
