I have no complaints on the text, since I know it is a scanned reproduction of a previous work. It's pretty well explained, and it seems to be a bare bones introduction to Mathematical Logic. It shows the basis of the signs, and introduces a method to manipulate them. There isn't really much else to say, it doesn't have any workable problems, it only shows how to do the basic operations. This sort of thing didn't really surprise me, since it is pretty short. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Self-taught mathematician George Boole (1815-1864) published a pamphlet in 1847 - The Mathematical Analysis of Logic - that launched him into history as one of the nineteenth century's most original thinkers. In the introduction, Boole closely adheres to two themes: the fundamental unity of all science and the close relationship between logic and mathematics. In the first chapter, he examines first principles of formal logic, and then moves on to Aristotelian syllogism, hypotheticals, and the properties of elective functions. Boole uses this pamphlet to answer a well-known logician of the day, Sir William Hamilton, who believed that only philosophers could study 'the science of real existence', while all mathematicians could do was measure things. In essence, The Mathematical Analysis of Logic humbly chides Hamilton and asks him to rethink his bias. Boole is compelling reading for anyone interested in intellectual history and the science of the mind. No library descriptions found. |
