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: The Laws of Thought, more precisely, An Investigation of the Laws of Thought on Which are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities, was an influential 19th century book by George Boole, the second of his two monographs on algebraic logic. It was published in 1854. Boole was Professor of Mathematics of then Queen's College, Cork in Ireland. Boole's work founded the discipline of algebraic logic. It is often, but mistakenly, credited as being the source of what we know today as Boolean algebra. In fact, however, Boole's algebra differs from modern Boolean algebra: in Boole's algebra A+B cannot be interpreted by set union, due to the permissibility of uninterpretable terms in Boole's calculus. Therefore algebras on Boole's account cannot be interpreted by sets under the operations of union, intersection and complement, as is the case with modern Boolean algebra. The task of developing the modern account of Boolean algebra fell to Boole's successors in the tradition of algebraic logic (Jevons 1869, Peirce 1880, Jevons 1890, Schröder 1890, Huntingdon 1904). In Boole's account of his algebra, terms are reasoned about equationally, without a systematic interpretation being assigned to them. In places, Boole talks of terms being interpreted by sets, but he also recognises terms that cannot always be so interpreted, such as the term 2AB, which arises in equational manipulations. Such terms he classes uninterpretable terms; although elsewhere he has some instances of such terms being interpreted by integers. The coherences of the whole enterprise is justified by Boole in what Stanley Burris has later called the "rule of 0s and 1s", which justifies the claim that uninterpretable terms cannot be the ultimate result of equational manipulations from meaningful starting formulae (Burris 2000). Boole provided no proof of this rule, but the coherence of his system was proved by Theodore Hailperin, who provided an interpretation based on a fairly simple construction of rings from the integers to provide an interpretation of Boole's theory (Hailperin 1976).

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.
