A self-taught mathematician, George Boole was offered a university position
solely on the basis of his publications. His work on mathematical
logic, algebra, and the binary systems of 0 and 1, had a unique influence
upon the development of computers. On a personal note, he married
Mary Everest, the niece of the man for whom Mt. Everest is named.
