George Boole (1815–1864), mathematician and logician. ODNB ‘... Boole's contributions to mathematics were both characteristic of and important for the development of English mathematics in his time, for they were entirely guided by algebras of new kinds. His earliest work extended the notion of the invariant, which was to become a major English industry in the hands of Arthur Cayley and J. J. Sylvester. His own main effort was directed to the algebraic form of the differential and integral calculus. Born at the start of the century out of certain ideas of J. L. Lagrange, it had been taken up in England from the 1810s by Charles Babbage and especially John Herschel. Taking much inspiration from Gregory, Boole specialized in differential operators, in which the operation of differentiation of a mathematical function was represented by the letter ‘D’, and an algebra constructed in which second differentiation was given by the power D2, the inverse operation of integration was D-1, and so on. He became a leading practitioner of this theory for solving differential and difference equations, and summing series. His main paper, ‘On a general method in analysis’, was submitted to the Royal Society; after initial rejection, it was published in the Philosophical Transactions in 1844, and Boole later received the society's gold medal. This operator algebra became the largest single concern of English mathematicians in Boole's time, and his contributions gained him most of his attention. He examined operator functions F and G which did not commute (FG ? GF), and applied his methods and solutions especially to linear differential equations. He also wrote two well-received general textbooks: A Treatise on Differential Equations (1859) and A Treatise on the Calculus of Finite Differences (1860). The algebra of differential operators has a close bearing upon Boole's contributions to logic, which was then only an intriguing curiosity to his contemporaries but for which he is best remembered today. A dispute developed in the mid-1840s between the Scottish philosopher Sir William Hamilton and the English mathematician Augustus De Morgan over a certain extension of syllogistic logic which became called ‘quantification of the predicate’; it inspired Boole to write up his ideas on logic in a short book entitled The Mathematical Analysis of Logic (1847). Seven years later, he presented a much longer account as An Investigation of the Laws of Thought; today it is recognized as the more authoritative and substantial book, but at the time it gained even less attention than had his Analysis ...’ GBP 1500.00 [Appr.: EURO 1680.25 US$ 2499 \| JP¥ 222298] Book number: 193168 Click here to order or inquire at Francis Edwards Booksellers.
