Boole family thrilled at plans to honour mathematician
Boole’s great, great grand daughter, Marni Hinton-Rosner, and his great, great grand nephew Gerry Kennedy, were in the city last night to attend the launch of a new book on Boole as part of UCC’s George Boole 200 commemorations.
Ms Hinton-Rosner, a geography and maths teacher from the US, is descended from Boole’s eldest daughter, Mary Ellen, whose son, Sebastian, invented the jungle gym, a piece of playground equipment that helps teach maths to children.
