Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation of the laws of thought on which are founded the mathematical theories of logic and probabilities - an unabridged edition."A classic of pure mathematics and symbolic logic ... the publisher is to be thanked for making it available." -- Scientific American George Boole was on of the greatest mathematicians of the 19th century, and one of the most influential thinkers of all time. Not only did he make important contributions to differential equations and calculus of finite differences, he also was the discoverer of invariants, and the founder of modern symbolic logic. According to Bertrand Russell, "Pure mathematics was discovered by George Boole in his work published in 1854."This work is the first extensive statement of the modern view that mathematics is a pure deductive science that can be applied to various situations. Boole first showed how classical logic could be treated with algebraic terminology and operations, and then proceeded to a general symbolic method of logical interference; he also attempted to devise a calculus of probabilities which could be applied to situations hitherto considered beyond investigation.The following work is not a republication of a former treatise by the Author, entitled, \The Mathematical Analysis of Logic." Its earlier portion is indeed devoted to the same object, and it begins by establishing the same system of fundamental laws, but its methods are more general, and its range of applications far wider. It exhibits the results, matured by some years of study and reflection, of a principle of investigation relating to the intellectual operations, the previous exposition of which was written within a few weeks after its idea had been conceived.

Book excerpt: At the age of twenty, George Boole taught himself mathematics, then worked his way through the mathematics of his day, published papers in a wide range of mathematical fields, until, in this remarkably accessible seminal work, he laid down postulates and axioms for logic for the first time - just as Euclid had done for geometry. Boolean algebra has become the basis for practical digital circuit design; thus Boole has provided the theoretical grounding for the Information Age.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Investigation of the Laws of Thought: On Which Are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities The following work is not a republication of a former treatise by the Author, entitled The Mathematical Analysis of Logic. Its earlier portion is indeed devoted to the same object, and it begins by establishing the same system of fundamental laws, but its methods are more general, and its range of applications far wider. It exhibits the results, matured by some years of study and reflection, of a principle of investigation relating to the intellectual operations, the previous exposition of which was written within a few weeks after its idea had been conceived. That portion of this work which relates to Logic presupposes in its reader a knowledge of the most important terms of the science, as usually treated, and of its general object. On these points there is no better guide than Archbishop Whately's Elements of Logic, or Mr. Thomson's Outlines of the Laws of Thought. To the former of these treatises, the present revival of attention to this class of studies seems in a great measure due. Some acquaintance with the principles of Algebra is also requisite, but it is not necessary that this application should have been carried beyond the solution of simple equations. For the study of those chapters which relate to the theory of probabilities, a somewhat larger knowledge of Algebra is required, and especially of the doctrine of Elimination, and of the solution of Equations containing more than one unknown quantity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Boole, an English mathematician, philosopher, educator, and logician. He has worked in the fields of algebraic logic and differential equations he is very well known as the author of the book "The Laws of Thought" that contains Boolean algebra. Boolean logic is credited as the foundations for the information age. Boole stated that: No general approach for the solution of questions in the theory of probabilities can be established that does not explicitly recognize. Not only the particular numerical basis of the science, and also those universal rules of thought which are the foundation of all reasoning, and, whatever they may be as to their nature, are at least scientific as to their form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father of Boolean algebra, George Boole, published An Investigation of the Laws of Thought in 1854. His work is an investigation of the fundamental laws of human reasoning. Further expanding upon ideas explored in earlier writings. Using the symbolic language of mathematics Boole establishes a method by which the nature of the human mind may be examined using logic and the theory of probabilities. Boole considers language not just a mode of expression, but as a system by which one may understand the mind. Certainly one of history's most insightful mathematicians, Boole is compelling reading for any student of intellectual history.
Download or read book New Perspectives on Mathematical Practices written by Bart Van Kerkhove and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2009 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the importance of historical enquiry for the appreciation of philosophical problems concerning mathematics. It contains a well-balanced mixture of contributions by internationally established experts, such as Jeremy Gray and Jens Hoyrup; upcoming scholars, such as Erich Reck and Dirk Schlimm; and young, promising researchers at the beginning of their careers. The book is situated within a relatively new and broadly naturalistic tradition in the philosophy of mathematics. In this alternative philosophical current, which has been dramatically growing in importance in the last few decades, unlike in the traditional schools, proper attention is paid to scientific practices as informing for philosophical accounts.
Download or read book A Boole Anthology written by James Gasser and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern mathematical logic would not exist without the analytical tools first developed by George Boole in The Mathematical Analysis of Logic and The Laws of Thought. The influence of the Boolean school on the development of logic, always recognised but long underestimated, has recently become a major research topic. This collection is the first anthology of works on Boole. It contains two works published in 1865, the year of Boole's death, but never reprinted, as well as several classic studies of recent decades and ten original contributions appearing here for the first time. From the programme of the English Algebraic School to Boole's use of operator methods, from the problem of interpretability to that of psychologism, a full range of issues is covered. The Boole Anthology is indispensable to Boole studies and will remain so for years to come.
