Biography

Elí de Gortari was a student of the Engineering School of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM, Spanish acronym), matriculating in 1938. His goal was to become an engineer, which he achieved in two years. His commitment to public welfare led him to enroll in sanitation engineering, but he continued his studies of mathematics and philosophy. Eventually, in 1948, he would become a professor of philosophy of science. In 1949 he obtained a master's degree in philosophy and published a thesis "The Science of Logic" in the Soviet Union.
