About this title

Synopsis

The Mathematical Analysis of Logic: Being an Essay Towards a Calculus of Deductive Reasoning is a book written by George Boole and published in 1847. The book is an exploration of the mathematical principles underlying logical reasoning and aims to provide a formal system for deductive reasoning. Boole's work is considered to be a groundbreaking contribution to the field of mathematical logic and has had a significant impact on modern computer science and artificial intelligence. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of logical reasoning, including the laws of thought, the principles of inference, and the application of algebraic symbols to logical expressions. Boole's work in this book laid the foundation for the development of Boolean algebra, which is a fundamental concept in modern computer science and digital electronics. Overall, The Mathematical Analysis of Logic is a seminal work in the history of mathematics and logic, and remains an important reference for scholars and researchers in these fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Book Description

In 1847, mathematician George Boole published a pamphlet, The Mathematical Analysis of Logic, which launched him into history as one of the nineteenth century's most innovative thinkers. This work was the first to construct a mathematics of logic and the human intellect, establishing the close relationship between mathematics and philosophy.
