DESCRIPTION:
Very beautiful book, very insightful in the mixture between math Fernando A. Gomez Flores Very beautiful book, very insightful in the mixture between math and logic. It was written more than a century ago, but it sill has many valid concepts. I'd say math students interested in logic and set theory must read this book to grasp a better understanding on logic.
Written in response to the altercation between Sr. George Boole (1815-1864) is renowned as the first logician to apply algebraic methods to logic successfully. William Hamilton and Augustus de Morgan over the quantification of the predicate within syllogistic theory, its remarkable innovations led other logicians, among them William Stanley Jevons, John Venn, Charles Sanders Peirce, and Ernst Schrder, to refine and develop Boole's system. In short, modern symbolic logic was founded in the pages of this book.. In turn, their efforts were incorporated by Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell into the monumental system of Principia Mathematica. His Mathematical Analysis of Logic, first published in 1847, was the ground-breaking work that laid the foundations for what is known today as Boolean algebra and the propositional calculus
