Synopsis :

""Lectures on the Logic of Arithmetic"" is a book written by Mary Everest Boole that explores the foundations of arithmetic from a logical perspective. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part discussing the basic principles of logic and how they apply to arithmetic. The second part focuses on the concept of number and the different types of numbers, including real, imaginary, and complex numbers. The final part of the book explores the application of logic to algebraic equations and the use of symbols to represent mathematical concepts.Throughout the book, Boole emphasizes the importance of understanding the logical foundations of arithmetic in order to fully grasp the concepts and principles of mathematics. She also provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers apply these concepts and improve their understanding of arithmetic.Overall, ""Lectures on the Logic of Arithmetic"" is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the logical foundations of arithmetic, written by a pioneering female mathematician. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in mathematics, logic, or philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur: But for your resolute energy I think I should never have communicated to the educational world the method which I have long used for reviving the faculties of children suffering from mathematical rickets and logical paralysis. These diseases are common; they are induced by the practice of teaching mathematical processes on a hypothesis about the nature of Mathematics directly opposed to that which underlies the original invention and formulation of these processes. I have, as you know, taken no part in recent attempts to improve methods of teaching, because, as James Hinton said, I can see no use in trying to invent good methods for teaching truth on a basis of falsehood ;the only remedy in which I have any faith is to tell the pupil one or two simple laws of the relation of the human mind to Scientific Truth, and then to see that he forms the habit of working in accordance with those laws.
