Extractions: Yes, George Boole (1815-1864) was an English mathematician who helped establish a field of mathematical study called symbolic logic. This system, known as Boolean logic, is basic to the design of digital computer circuits. It also is the basis for computer database searches. Bacause many Internet search engines are based on Boolean logic, so it is important to understand how this system works.

Extractions: Dover Edition (1958, NY). This 19th Century thinker, who developed ways of expressing logical processes using algebraic symbols, is considered the father of symbolic logic. His contributions underlie the development of switching theory essential for computing circuitry and thus the digital revolution in the 20th Century. The gating logic familiar to us in internet search engines bears his name as a "Boolean" search because it employs "Boolean" algebra.

Extractions: George Boole (1815-1864) Nacido el 2 de Noviembre de 1815 en Lincoln, Lincolnshire (Inglaterra), primero concurrió a una escuela en Lincoln, luego a un colegio comercial. Sus primeras instrucciones en matemática, sin embargo fueron de su padre quién le dio también a George la afición para la construcción de instrumentos ópticos. El interés de George se volvió a los idiomas y recibió instrucción en Latín de una librería local. A la edad de 12 años había llegado a ser tan hábil en Latín que provocaba controversia. Él tradujo del latín una Oda del poeta Horacio de lo cual su padre estaba tan orgulloso que tenía su publicación. No obstante el talento era tal que un maestro de escuela local cuestionaba que nadie con 12 años podría haber escrito con tanta profundidad. Boole no estudió para un grado académico, pero a la edad de 16 años fue un profesor auxiliar de colegio. Mantuvo su interés en idiomas e intentó ingresar a la Iglesia. Desde 1835, sin embargo, pareció haber cambiado de idea ya que abrió su propio colegio y empezó a estudiar matemáticas por si mismo. Tardó en darse cuenta que había perdido casi cinco años tratando de aprender las materias en vez de tener un profesor experto. En ese periodo Boole estudió los trabajos de Laplace y Lagrange, tomando apuntes, los cuales llegaron a ser más tarde las bases para sus primeros papeles matemáticos. Comenzó a estudiar álgebra y

Extractions: Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help (b. Nov. 2, 1815, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, Eng.d. Dec. 8, 1864, Ballintemple, County Cork, Ire.), 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 was given his first lessons in mathematics by his father, a tradesman, who also taught him to make optical instruments. Aside from his father's help and a few years at local schools, however, Boole was self-taught in mathematics. When his father's business declined, George had to work to support the family. From the age of 16 he taught in village schools in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and he opened his own school in Lincoln when he was 20. During scant leisure time he read mathematics journals in the Mechanics Institute, founded about that time for science education. There he wrestled with the Principia of the 17th-century English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton, the of Pierre-Simon Laplace, and the

Extractions: related subjects Achievement George Boole laid the groundwork for what we know today as Information Theory through the publication of his masterpiece, An Investigation of the laws of Thought, on which are founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities. In this work, published when the author was 39, Boole reduced logic to an extremely simple type of algebra, in which 'reasoning' is carried out through manipulating formulas simpler than those used in second-year traditional algebra. His theory of logic, which recognizes three basic operations - AND, OR and NOT - was to become germane to the development of telephone circuit switching and the design of electronic computers.

Extractions: George Boole invented a mathematical tool for future computer-buildersan "algebra of logic" that was used nearly a hundred years later to link the process of human reason to the operations of machines. The idea came to him in a flash of inspiration when he was walking across a meadow one day, at the age of seventeen, but it took him twenty years to teach himself enough mathematics to write The Laws of Thought. Although Boole's lifework was to translate his inspiration into an algebraic system, he continued to be so impressed with the suddenness and force of the revelation that hit him that day in the meadow that he also wrote extensively about the powers of the unconscious mind. After his death Boole's widow turned these ideas into a kind of human potential cult, a hundred years before the "me decade." -_Tools For Thought_ by Howard Rheingold

Extractions: Mary Everest Boole Mary Everest Boole was born in England in 1832. It was not long thereafter that her father, Dr. Thomas Everest, a minister, moved the family to Poissy, France in order to cure his serious illness. At the time, Mary was five years old and her brother, George, was only two. Although growing up in Poissy gave Mary a chance to be exposed to a different culture and language, life was sometimes difficult and lonely. For example, it was hard for the Everest's, coming from the tradition of an English minister, to live in a town that was French Catholic. Dr. Everest believed strongly in homeopathy, a medical system whose main objective was to promote health and prevent disease. Some customs of homeopathy were extreme, such as baths in ice water to help resist disease. It was during Dr. Everest's curing process that Mary stayed very loyal to him, even participating in some of the homeopathic customs. It was Mary's uncle, George Everest, who made the family name famous. Colonel Sir George Everest was the Surveyor General of India. He was largely responsible for completion of the trigonometric survey of India along the meridan arc from the south of India extending north to Nepal. The completion of the Indian survey allowed the subsequent survey of Mt. Everest (at the time un-named) and calculation of its summit height. It was later renamed in honor of George Everest. Mary and her Uncle George were very close and George had hoped to adopt her. But Mary loved her parents too much to ever agree to the adoption.

Extractions: Allerdings begann er, im "Cambridge Mathematical Journal" zu veröffentlichen und fing an, Algebra zu studieren. "Eine Anwendung algebraischer Methoden zur Lösung von Differentialgleichungen" wurde von Boole in "Transactions of the Royal Society" veröffentlicht, wofür er die Medaille der Royal Society bekam. Dies war der Anfang einer ruhmbringenden mathematischen Karriere. Im Jahre 1849 erhielt Boole einen Mathematik-Lehrstuhl am Queens-College in Cork. Dort lehrte er als außergewöhnlicher und hingebungsvoller Lehrer für den Rest seines Lebens. 1854 veröffentlichte er "An investigation into the Laws of Thought, on Which are founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities". Boole hatte einen neuen Weg gefunden, Logik nur mit einfacher Algebra zu beschreiben und sie so in die Mathematik einzuführen. Ihm gelang es, die Analogie zwischen algebraischen und logischen Symbolen aufzuzeigen. Daraus entwickelte sich die Boolesche Algebra, die heute in vielen Dingen wie Computer-Konstruktion und Schaltkreisen Anwendung findet. Boole arbeitete ebenfalls an Differentialgleichungen und schrieb 1859 das einflußreiche "Treatise on Differential Equations", 1860 das "Treatise on the Calculus of Finite Differences" sowie über generelle Methoden der Wahrscheinlichkeit. Er veröffentlichte etwa 50 Papiere und war einer der ersten, die grundlegende Eigenschaften der Zahlen wie Distributivität untersuchten.
Georges Boole : Philosophe Ou Matématicien?
Paper by Sabine S©guin (in French).
http://www.unites.uqam.ca/sts/documents/travaux/sab/boole.html

Extractions: Philosophe ou mathématicien? Dans l'histoire de la logique, d'Aristote à nos jours, une figure demeure prépondérante, celle de George Boole, mathématicien du 19e siècle. Georges Boole a laissé à ses successeurs une oeuvre essentiellement mathématique. C'est d'ailleurs cet aspect de son travail qui demeure, et que l'on retrouve dans les manuels de mathématique et d'algèbre destinés aux techniciens, aux ingénieurs et aux mathématiciens. Toutefois, s'inscrivant dans l'histoire de la logique, l'oeuvre de George Boole peut également et légitimement se comprendre comme une oeuvre philosophique ou à tout le moins, comme une tentative de formaliser la logique classique ou aristotélicienne, en utilisant le langage mathématique. Certains voient dans l'oeuvre de Boole une discipline scientifique nouvelle, la logique formelle, que l'on peut considérer soit comme de la philosophie ou comme des mathématiques. (Meschkowski, p.74) D'autres verront plutôt dans son oeuvre une continuité de celle de Leibniz, c'est-à-dire établissant une relation entre la logique et les mathématiques. Vue sous cet angle, l'oeuvre de Boole est considérée comme des mathématiques pures et non comme de la philosophie. (E.T. Bell, p.464)
