Greens Education


Green had one year of scholling at the age of eight before going to work at his fathers mill. No formal education is recorded between the age of eight and whene he publised his first and most influential paper in 1828. It is remarkeble that Green was able to generate such a powerful theory without any giadence or assistance from other people working in mathematics. Green did have acess to a few papers of Laplace and Coulomb, but he had no corespondence with any of these people untill after his paper was published. Several years after Green publised his paper he enrolled in Gonville and Caius College in Caimbrige. In 1837 he became a fellow of the College, unfortunatly he died in 1841 after spending almost a year being ill.
