Mary Everest Boole

Mary Everest Boole is my scientist. Mary was born in England in 1832, Mary married George Boole, who was a famous mathematician. George taught Mary more about math, and while he did so, he was also writing a book called "Laws of Thought" which Mary greatlly contributed to as an editor. After a while Mary then accepted a job at 'Queens College'. This was the first women's college in England. At this time women were not able to teach, or to receive a degree, therefore Mary became the librian, through this job Mary then began to be an unofficial advisor to the students, she realized she loved to teach, and she wasn't half bad at it, she was actually pretty good at it. She than began to teach children, she was then recongnized by the head of education in London, that she was an outstanding teacher. Controversy struck over one of Mary's books, therefore she was forced to quit her job at the college she was working at. Mary then became a secretary for her fathers friend. Her fathers friend 'James Hinton' she became very interested in evolution and also the arts of thinking. She began to believe that it was possible to express all of the basic notions of the unierse with symbols and also numbers. As Mary grew older, and began more interested in the subjects above she then wrote her first book of her own called 'The Preparation of the Child for Science' in the year of 1904. This book she wrote had a huge impact on the schools in england, ALSO in the United States. Mary also invented curve stitching, well know as 'string geometry' today. It helped children to learn the geometry of spaces, and also angles. Mary had a big heart for science of phychic and/or the spirit world. It took up to 15 years to get her next book published due to the controversy of her other book subject matter, which forced her to quit her job at the college she has worked at. The book that took her 15 years to published was called 'The message of Psychic science for Mothers and Nurses'. Mary then became very sick, and sadly passed away at the age of 84 in 1916. This is the life of my scientist Mary Everest Boole.
