Andrew Tooke

Andrew Tooke (1673–1732) was an English scholar, headmaster of Charterhouse School, Gresham Professor of Geometry, Fellow of the Royal Society and translator of Tooke's Pantheon, a standard textbook for a century on Greek and Roman mythology.

He was second son of Benjamin Tooke, stationer of London, and received his education in the Charterhouse school.

In 1695 he had become usher in the Charterhouse school, and on 5 July 1704 he was elected professor of geometry in Gresham College in succession to Robert Hooke.

On 30 November 1704 he was chosen a fellow of the Royal Society, which held its meetings in his chambers, until they left the college in 1710.

He died on 20 January 1732, and was buried in the chapel of the Charterhouse, where a monument was erected to his memory.
