Synopsis

"First published in 1854, this is the classic treatise by British mathematician and philosopher GEORGE BOOLE (1815¿1864) in which he develops a system for representing logic in algebraic form. Expanding on ideas first presented in his 1847 pamphlet ¿The Mathematical Analysis of Logic, ¿ Boole¿for whom the mathematical term ¿boolean¿ was coined¿discusses: ¿ derivation of his laws ¿ principles of symbolic reasoning ¿ conditions of a perfect method ¿ general method in probabilities ¿ Aristotelian logic ¿ and more. A foundational work by the thinker who paved the way for modern electronics and our information age, this is must-reading for students of mathematics and the history of contemporary science. "

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.
