  2. Personal Life • Mr.Frege was Born 1848 in Wismar, Mecklenburg- Schwerin. • His father was Carl Alexander Frege. Carl was the co-founder and headmaster of a girls’ High school until His Death.

  5. Contribution to Computer Science • In 1879, Frege Developed first-order predicate calculus, which was a difficult before handrequirement to developing computationtheory. • First-order predicate calculus is a formal system used in mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science. • He created the Begriffsschrift , which was a Formal Language for Pure Thought Modeled on Arithmetic.
