Boole, George Born: Nov. 2, 1815, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, Eng. Died: 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 of Joseph-Louis Lagrange, both 18th- and early 19th-century French mathematicians, and began to solve advanced problems in algebra.

English mathematician. His work The Mathematical Analysis of Logic 1847 established the basis of modern mathematical logic, and his Boolean algebra can be used in designing computers. 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 he 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 ComputerWords.info - Dictionary of computer words, complete with short description for each words, with convinient search option. main - index Boole, George English mathematician.

1847 AD to 1854 AD George Boole Invents Boolean Algebra Around the same time that Charles Babbage was struggling with his Analytical Engine , one of his contemporaries, a British mathematician called George Boole, was busily inventing a new and rather cunning form of mathematics. Boole made significant contributions in several areas of mathematics, but was immortalized for two works in 1847 and 1854, in which he represented logical expressions in a mathematical form now known as Boolean Algebra . Boole's work was all the more impressive because, with the exception of elementary school and a short time in a commercial school, he was almost completely self-educated. a In conjunction with Boole, another British mathematician, Augustus DeMorgan, formalized a set of logical operations now known as DeMorgan transformations. As the Encyclopedia Britannica says: "A renascence of logical studies came about almost entirely because of Boole and DeMorgan." a In fact the rules we now attribute to DeMorgan were known in a more primitive form by William of Ockham (also known as William of Occam) in the 14th Century. In order to celebrate Ockham's position in history, the OCCAM computer programming language was named in his honor. (In fact, OCCAM is the native programming language for the British- developed INMOS transputer.)

Mary Everest Boole Written by Michelle Frost, Class of 1997 (Agnes Scott College) 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.

Boole, George Boole, matemático ingés, quien sus primeras instrucciones en matemática fueron de su padre. Se preocupó de reducir la lógica a un álgebra simple. También trabajó en ecuaciones diferenciales, el cálculo de diferencias finitas y métodos generales en probabilidad. A pesar de no tener grado académico, a la edad de 16 años fue un profesor auxiliar de colegio. Más adelante estableció su propio colegio y empezó a estudiar matemáticas por si mismo. En ese periodo Boole estudió los trabajos de Laplace y Lagrange, tomando apuntes, siendo éstos las bases para sus primeros papeles matemáticos. Recibió estímulos de Duncan Gregory y del editor del "Cambridge Mathematical Formal". Una aplicación de métodos algebraicos para la solución de ecuaciones diferenciales fue publicada por Boole en el "Transaction of the Royal Society" y por este trabajo recibió la medalla de la Real Sociedad. Su trabajo matemático fue el comienzo que le trajo fama. Boole fue nominado para una cátedra de matemática en el Queens College, Cork en 1849. Enseñó allí por el resto de su vida, ganándose una reputación como un prominente y dedicado profesor.

80. George Boole (1815-1864) george boole (the Father of Symbolic Logic) was probably the most illustrious The definitive biography of boole is george boole His Life and Work , http://understandingscience.ucc.ie/pages/sci_georgeboole.htm

George Boole THE GREATNESS OF GEORGE BOOLE By William Reville, University College, Cork. George Boole (the Father of Symbolic Logic) was probably the most illustrious academic who ever worked at University College, Cork (then Queen's College, Cork). He was not only a mathematical genius but also a fine humanitarian. A strong minded individual, he was prepared to engage in protracted and bitter arguments with academic colleagues. His revolutionary advances in mathematics are today fundamental aspects of computer science and electronics and his Boolean Algebra is used to design and operate computers and other electronic devices. The definitive biography of Boole is 'George Boole: His Life and Work', by Desmond MacHale, (Boole Press, 1985). George Boole was born in Lincoln, England in 1815. The family economic circumstances were very modest - his father was a struggling shoemaker and his mother a lady's maid. His father was also an amateur scientist and instrument maker, and together with his son made many fine scientific instruments. George was a voracious reader. He had mastered Euclid by age 11, and he taught himself Greek and Latin, and later French, German and Italian. At the age of 13 he began a couple of years of secondary education at a small commercial school.
