Friedrich Ludwig Gottlob Frege was born in Wismar, Germany. His father was the headmaster of a girls' school. After Frege's father passed away, his mother took over as head of the school. Frege is known for his contributions to logic and mathematics. He first studied mathematics before growing interested in logic. Sometimes given credit for founding 'analytic' philosophy, he is also known posthumously as a raging anti-Semite. He wrote "Ueber Sinn und Bedeutung" ("On Sense and Reference") in 1892.
