Return to The Worlds of David Darling INDEX LATEST NEWS ARCHIVE ... Z entire Web this site Boole, George (1815-1864) An English mathematician and philosopher who is regarded as one of the founders of computer science. His great contribution was to approach logic in a new way, reducing it to a simple algebra and thus incorporating logic into mathematics. He pointed out the analogy between algebraic symbols and those that represent logical forms; his algebra of logic became known as Boolean algebra and is now used in designing computers and analyzing logic circuits. Although he never studied for a degree, Boole was appointed to the chair of mathematics at Queens College, Cork, Ireland, in 1849. One day in 1864 he walked the two miles from his home to the College in pouring rain and then lectured in wet clothes. A fever followed but whether this alone would have caused his demise is unknown. Certainly his condition wasn't helped by his wife, Mary (a niece of Sir George Everest, after whom the mountain is named), who, following the principle that remedy should resemble cause, put Boole to bed and threw buckets of water over him. He expired shortly after. See also Boole (Stott), Alicia

Boole, George English mathematician whose work The Mathematical Analysis of Logic 1847 established the basis of modern mathematical logic, and whose Boolean algebra can be used in designing computers. Boole's system is essentially two-valued. By subdividing objects into separate classes, each with a given property, his algebra makes it possible to treat different classes according to the presence or absence of the same property. Hence it involves just two numbers, and 1 - the binary system used in the computer. Boole was born in Lincoln and was largely self-taught. In 1849 he was appointed professor of mathematics at Queen's College in Cork, Ireland. In 1847 Boole announced that logic was more closely allied to mathematics than to philosophy. He argued not only that there was a close analogy between algebraic symbols and those that represented logical forms but also that symbols of quantity could be separated from symbols of operation. These ideas received fuller treatment in An Investigation of the Laws of Thought on which are founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities 1854.

George Boole Born 2 November 1815, Lincoln, UK; Died 8 December 1864, Cork, Ireland; British creator of a logic and a number system that bears his name. Boole's father was a simple tradesman skilled in the construction of optical instruments, but extremely interested in mathematics and sciences, an interest which he passed on to his son. George Boole attended an elementary school in Lincoln, where he was described by one of his classmates as "being of a shy and retiring disposition"1, but it from his father that he acquired his fundamental instruction in mathematics. At an early age he was more interested in classical languages and was tutored in the rudiments of Latin by William Brooke, a local bookseller. Boole and Brooke remained close throughout his life and maintained an uninterrupted correspondence. Independently Boole added Greek to his repertoire. At the age of 14 Boole's father sent his metric translation of an "Ode of Homer" to the local newspaper with an annotation regarding his age. A local schoolmaster challenged the entry, thereby sparking a controversy which lasted many weeks. At the age of 16 Boole undertook employment as an assistant teacher at a school in Doncaster (Yorkshire). He returned to the Lincoln area by taking a similar position in Waddington where he began studies of modern languages and religion. These studies were to be left unfinished however since his finances were becoming limited by the dependence of his parents on his support.

Commonly, and especially in computer science and digital electronics, this term is used to mean two-valued logic 2. This is in stark contrast with the definition used by pure mathematicians who in the 1960s introduced "Boolean-valued models" into logic precisely because a "Boolean-valued model" is an interpretation of a theory that allows more than two possible truth values! Strangely, a Boolean algebra (in the mathematical sense) is not strictly an algebra , but is in fact a lattice . A Boolean algebra is sometimes defined as a "complemented distributive lattice Boole's work which inspired the mathematical definition concerned algebras of set s, involving the operations of intersection, union and complement on sets. Such algebras obey the following identities where the operators ^, V, - and constants 1 and can be thought of either as set intersection, union, complement, universal, empty; or as two-valued logic AND, OR, NOT, TRUE, FALSE; or any other conforming system.

BOOLE, George Boole was the author of around fifty works in various fields of mathematics: algebra, differential calculus, and probability calculus. From the philosophical point of view his most important works are those that concern a mathematical approach to logic. These are Mathematical Analysis of Logic (C 1847) and An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on which are founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities (Lo 1854). B. Sikorski, B.
