Overview

George Boole, an English mathematician, philosopher, educator, and logician. Worked in the fields of algebraic logic and differential equations, and is best known as the author of The Laws of Thought (ISBN: 978-1548119911) that contains Boolean algebra. Boolean is credited with laying the foundations for the information age. Boole sustained that no general formula for the solution of questions in the theory of probabilities can be established that does not explicitly recognize, not only the numerical basis of the science. But also those accepted laws of thought which are the foundation of all reasoning, whatever they may be as to their nature, are at least mathematical as to their form. Boole earned the Keith Medal by the Royal Society of Edinburgh, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS), and received honorary degrees of LL.D. from the University of Dublin and the University of Oxford.
