An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on Which Are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities, Paperback

At the age of twenty, George Boole taught himself mathematics, then worked his way through the mathematics of his day, published papers in a wide range of mathematical fields, until, in this remarkably accessible seminal work, he laid down postulates and axioms for logic for the first time - just as Euclid had done for geometry. Boolean algebra has become the basis for practical digital circuit design; thus Boole has provided the theoretical grounding for the Information Age.

"A classic of pure mathematics and symbolic logic"- Scientific American.

"Pure mathematics was discovered by George Boole in his work published in 1854."-Bertrand Russell.
