Google doodles for Boole to mark his bicentenary

Internet search giant Google marked the 200th birthday of maths genius George Boole with a doodle yesterday as UCC honoured four education pioneers.

Thousands of students around the world took part in online logic lessons as part of Boole Day celebrations.

And contracts between Cork City Council and UCC have also been finalised for the restoration of Boole’s now derelict lodgings at 5 Grenville Place in Cork City, with hopes that works will go to tender within weeks.
