Synopsis

""An Investigation of the Laws of Thought"" is a seminal work in the field of mathematics and logic, written by the English mathematician George Boole. The book explores the fundamental principles of logic and probability, and how they are interconnected. Boole's work laid the foundation for modern mathematical logic and provided a framework for the development of computer science. The book is divided into three sections, each of which explores a different aspect of logic and probability. The first section discusses the laws of thought and how they relate to mathematics. The second section explores the principles of probability and their application in various fields, including economics and statistics. The final section examines the relationship between logic and probability and how they can be used together to solve complex problems. Boole's work is considered a landmark in the history of mathematics and has had a profound impact on the development of modern logic and computer science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Biographie de l'auteur

GEORGE BOOLE (1815 - 1864) was born in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England. Besides rudimentary lessons from his father, a shoemaker, and a few years at local schools, Boole was largely self-taught. Revealing his aptitude for many subjects at an early age, he began his career already at age 16 as a teacher at a village school. In his leisure time he tackled the daunting works of Newton, Laplace, and Lagrange on physics and mathematics. By the age of twenty-four he was submitting original papers to the Cambridge Mathematical Journal and at age twenty-nine he won a medal from the Royal Society for his contributions to mathematical analysis. He continued to so impress his contemporaries that five years later he was appointed professor of mathematics at Queens College, Cork in Ireland, even though he had no university degree. Boole was awarded the Keith Medal by the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1855 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1857. He received honorary degrees of LL.D. from the University of Dublin and the University of Oxford.
