About this title

Synopsis

The Mathematical Analysis of Logic is a book written by George Boole in 1847. It is an essay that aims to develop a calculus of deductive reasoning, using mathematical symbols and logical notation. In this book, Boole introduces the concept of algebraic logic, which is a method of using algebraic equations to represent logical propositions and arguments. He also discusses the principles of logical inference, including the laws of thought and the rules of syllogism. Boole's work on the mathematical analysis of logic is considered to be a significant contribution to the field of logic and has influenced the development of computer science and artificial intelligence. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and foundations of logic and mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
