George Boole, English mathematician who helped establish modern symbolic logic and whose algebra of logic, now called Boolean algebra, is basic to the design of digital computer circuits. Boole pointed out the analogy between algebraic symbols and those that can represent logical forms and syllogisms.
George Boole Jnr FRS (/ buːl /; 2 November 1815 – 8 December 1864) was a largely self-taught English mathematician, philosopher and logician, most of whose short career was spent as the first professor of mathematics at Queen's College, Cork in Ireland.
Apr 16, 2024 · George Boole’s Published Works and Books The first paper that Boole published was “Researches in the Theory of Analytical Transformations, with a Special Application to the Reduction of the General Equation of the Second Order.”
Apr 21, 2010 · George Boole. George Boole (1815–1864) was an English mathematician and a founder of the algebraic tradition in logic. He worked as a schoolmaster in England and from 1849 until his death as professor of mathematics at Queen's University, Cork, Ireland.
Boole’s research works on linking logic, symbols and algebra together; proved to be of great importance for him as a mathematician. What he called the Algebra of Logics later became popular as Boolean Algebra and served as the basis in designing of electronic and digital computer circuits and telephone systems.
Nov 2, 2011 · George Boole approached logic in a new way reducing it to a simple algebra, incorporating logic into mathematics. He also worked on differential equations, the calculus of finite differences and general methods in probability.
THE LIFE AND WORK OF GEORGE BOOLE: A PRELUDE TO THE DIGITAL AGE. This book, aimed at the general reader and now available again, is the first full-length biography of George Boole (1815–1864) who has been variously described as the founder of pure mathematics, one of the fathers of computer science and discoverer of symbolic logic.
