The Mathematical Analysis of Logic : Being an Essay Towards A Calculus of Deductive Reasoning (1847)

By George Boole

The Mathematical Analysis of Logic is an influential book written by George Boole in 1847. The book is an essay that aims to establish a calculus of deductive reasoning, which is a mathematical method for analyzing logical arguments. Boole's work is significant because it lays the foundation for modern symbolic logic and Boolean algebra. The book introduces the concept of algebraic logic, which is a system of logic that can be expressed in mathematical symbols and equations. Boole also develops a system of notation that uses symbols to represent logical operations such as conjunction, disjunction, and negation. The Mathematical Analysis of Logic is a seminal work in the history of logic and mathematics, and it has had a profound impact on fields such as computer science and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
