George Boole. "On a General Method of Analysis" in the Philosophical Transactions, 1844, part I. London. Pp 225-282. Disbound from a larger volume. Nice, clean, fresh copy. �[++] "George Boole, (born November 2, 1815, Lincoln,�Lincolnshire, England died December 8, 1864, Ballintemple, County�Cork, Ireland), English mathematician who helped establish modern symbolic�logic�and w hose algebra of logic, now called�Boolean algebra, is basic to the design of�digital computer�circuits."--Encyclopedia Britannica. [++] According to M. Panteki (in "The Mathematical Background of George Boole's�Mathematical Analysis of Logic"(1847) found in Gasser J. (eds) "A Boole Anthology", Synthese Library) the paper offered here is "Boole's first mathematical masterpiece, a work grounded on the laws of combination of non-commutative symbols, which apparently convinced Boole of the immense power afforded by symbolical methods, a power largely due to their main property of not depending upon conditions of their interpretation." "In 1843, Boole began applying algebraic methods to the solution of differential equations. He wrote a lengthy paper [the one offered here] [that] investigates differentiation and differential equations from an operator point of view and introduces Boole's new algebra of classes . This boolean algebra contributed to freeing mathematics from number systems, and pushed mathematics a step further towards abstraction. For this paper, Boole received the Royal Society's Gold Medal, the first ever awarded for mathematics. It was a turning point in Boole s career and brought his name to the attention of leading mathematicians and scientists."--Boole website, University College Cork.[++].
