From the first he displayed that passion for mathematics which has never grown cool in him throughout life. His interest in literature itself was far from absorbing. He showed, indeed, some liking for novels and romantic dramas. For tragic writers of the stamp of Comeille and Racine he could not conceal his disrelish, though the fairness of his mind would never permit him to ignore or deny the many beauties of the classic drama. When he was fifteen years old he became Bachelor of Philosophic Science, and proceeded to Madrid in the month of October, 1847, to prepare for entrance into the Escuela de Caminos.

José Echegaray was born in Madrid, Spain on April 19, 1832. His father was a professor of Greek.
In Murcia, he finished his elementary school education. At the age of fourteen, he moved to Madrid and studied at the newly created Second Teaching Institute of San Isidro. At the age of twenty, he left the Madrid School with a Civil Engineering degree.
In 1854 he was teaching a class at the Engineering Paths School and working as a secretary there. He taught mathematics, stereotomy, hydraulics, descriptive geometry, and differential and physical calculus from that year until 1868. From 1858 to 1860 he was a professor at the Assistants’ School of Public Works. He entered politics after the Liberal revolution of 1868. He became national director of public works and later, because of his interest in economics, Minister of finance. While in that office he founded the Bank of Spain. His first play was produced in 1874 at the end of his career in politics. Aside from his dramas, Echegaray also wrote technical treatises, newspaper articles, and an autobiography, Recuerdos, which appeared in 1917 after his death. He died in Madrid September 14, 1916.
