Autorenporträt

Mary Everest Boole (1832–1916) was an eminent mathematician and educationalist, best known for her work in mathematics education. Born in England as the niece of the renowned mathematician George Everest, Mary's curiosity in teaching and mathematics was galvanized early on. Notably, she was married to George Boole, whose work laid the foundations for the modern field of computer science. Mary contributed significantly to the education of women and the promotion of innovative teaching methods within mathematics, which was trailblazing at the time. Her pedagogical approach was deeply influenced by her belief in the connection between the development of mathematical ideas and the nurturing of an affectionate understanding of the subject. Her book, 'Logic Taught by Love' reflects her educational philosophy, arguing that abstract concepts should be taught in an empathetic and relatable manner rather than through rote learning. Boole's literary style in this work was both didactic and deeply humanistic, emphasizing the role of emotions and the cultivation of an intellectual environment built on love and understanding. Her legacy encompasses both her contributions to mathematics education and her insistence on treating young learners as thoughtful individuals capable of profound intellectual and emotional insights.
