	George Boole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boole was one of the most eminent of those who perceived that the symbols of operation could be separated from those of quantity and treated as distinct objects of calculation.
		Boole afterwards regarded this as a hasty and imperfect exposition of his logical system, and he desired that his much larger work, An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on which are founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities ( 1854), should alone be considered as containing a mature statement of his views.
		Boole showed that elective symbols of this kind obey the same primary laws of combination as algebraic symbols, whence it followed that they could be added, subtracted, multiplied and even divided, almost exactly in the same manner as numbers.

		His earliest published paper was one upon the Theory of Analytical Transformations, printed in the Cambridge Mathematical Journal for 1839, and it led to a friendship between Boole and D. Gregory, the editor of the journal, which lasted until the premature death of the latter in 1844.
		He did not regard logic as a branch of mathematics, as the title of his earlier pamphlet might be taken to imply, but he pointed 0-ut such a deep analogy between the symbols of algebra and those which can be made, in his opinion, to represent logical forms and syllogisms, that we can.
		Though Boole published little except his mathematical and logical works, his acquaintance with general literature -was wide and deep.

	George Boole
		Boole was translating Latin poetry by the age of twelve.
		Boole soon began to see the possibilities for applying his algebra to the solution of logical problems - his 1847 work, "The Mathematical Analysis of Logic", not only expanded on Gottfried Leibniz' earlier speculations on the correlation between logic and math, but argued that logic was principally a discipline of mathematics, rather than philosophy.
		Boole's system (Detailed in his "An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on Which Are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities", 1954) was based on a binary approach, processing only two objects - the now famous yes-no, true-false, on-off, zero-one approach.

	7 Boole's Work
		During Boole's time in Doncaster as assistant teacher he had a flash one afternoon as he was walking across a field, and the initial idea of a logic of human thought was born.
		Boole's idea of a mind selecting items from classes is central in his arguments for the laws that hold in his algebra.
		No doubt, Boole's notation was ingenious and the work was developed in a formal style, which was a very important innovation, but the work also produced some unintuitive or even wrong results.

	The mathematics of human thought
		What Boole was talking about was using the entire apparatus of the high school algebra class, with operations such as addition and multiplication and the employment of methods to solve equations.
		Boole's idea was to try to reduce logical thought to the solution of equations -- a logical holy grail ever since the German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz had tried to do it in the 17th century.
		Boole wanted his algebra to encompass all of Aristotle's insights into human reasoning (the famous Greek "All men are mortal" syllogisms) as well as the Stoics' logic of propositions (what we now refer to as propositional calculus).

		In his principal work, An Investigation of the Laws of Thought on Which Are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities (1854), Boole established a new branch of mathematics, symbolic logic, in which symbols are used to represent logical operations.
		In this book, Boole proposed a calculus (the Boolean algebra) that he claimed was based on the nature of human logical thought.
		Boole showed that the symbols of his calculus could be made to take on only two values, 0 and 1, to perform all the necessary operations.

		It was these three functions which formed the basis of his premise, and were the only operations necessary to perform comparisons or basic mathematical functions.
		Surprisingly, given his standing in the academic community, Boole's idea was either criticised or completely ignored by the majority of his peers.
		Twelve years after Boole's Investigation, Pierce gave a brief speech describing Boole's ideas to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences - and then spent more than 20 years modifying and expanding it, realising its potential for use in electronic circuitry and eventually designing a fundamental electrical logic-circuit.

	George Boole
		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.

		Some methods of reasoning were systematized by John Stuart Mill 's Canons, which are five explicit statements of what can be discarded and what can be kept while building a hypothesis.
		George Boole and William Stanley Jevons also wrote on the principles of reasoning.
		These attempts to systematize a scientific method were faced with the Problem of induction, which points out that inductive reasoning is not logically valid.
