Robert Hooke, British philosopher and scientist, was born in 1635 in Freshwater, Isle of Wight, UK. His father was churchman John Hooke, who apparently was the head of a local school. There does not appear to be any record of Robert's early school years; maybe he was educated at home and at his father's school. His father died in 1648, and Robert, aged 13, used his inheritance to buy a painting (art) apprenticeship at Westminster School, London, under a Dr Busby. Robert took a serious interest in Latin, Greek and Hebrew and studied classical mathematical works. He also studied mechanics. In 1653, Hooke, by now also having an interest in playing the organ, gained a place as a chorister at Christ Church, Oxford University. At Oxford he met philosopher and scientist Robert Boyle, and worked as his assistant from about 1655 to 1662. In due course Robert gained his Master of Arts degree in about 1662 or 1663. Meanwhile he was teaching himself many things and was publishing his scientific and mechanical findings, inventions and theories in scientific journals and papers.
