About this title

Synopsis

The Development of Symbolic Logic: A Critical-Historical Study of the Logical Calculus is a book by Arthur T. Shearman that explores the history and evolution of symbolic logic. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the various stages of development of symbolic logic, from its origins in the work of Aristotle to modern-day calculus. Shearman examines the contributions of key figures in the field, including George Boole, Augustus De Morgan, and Gottlob Frege, and discusses the ways in which their ideas influenced the development of symbolic logic. The book also explores the relationship between symbolic logic and other branches of mathematics, such as algebra and topology, and discusses the relevance of symbolic logic to contemporary philosophy. Overall, The Development of Symbolic Logic is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of mathematical and logical thinking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
