| Keynes believed that Boole had made a fundamental error in his definition of independence which vitiated much of his analysis. |
|
| Theodore Hailperin showed much earlier that Boole had used the correct mathematical definition of independence in his worked out problems. |
|
| To mark the bicentenary year, University College Cork joined admirers of Boole around the world to celebrate his life and legacy. |
|
| Litchfield Cottage in Ballintemple, Cork, where Boole lived for the last two years of his life, bears a memorial plaque. |
|
| Boole considered converting to Judaism but in the end was said to have chosen Unitarianism. |
|
| Boole became a prominent local figure, an admirer of John Kaye, the bishop. |
|
| According to Corcoran, Boole fully accepted and endorsed Aristotle's logic. |
|
| Contrary to widespread belief, Boole never intended to criticise or disagree with the main principles of Aristotle's logic. |
|
| George Boole was a legendary mathematician who was responsible for creating Boolean Algebra. |
|
| His work was a beginning to the algebra of sets, again not a concept available to Boole as a familiar model. |
|
| From 1838 onwards Boole was making contacts with sympathetic British academic mathematicians and reading more widely. |
|
| In 1847 Boole published The Mathematical Analysis of Logic, the first of his works on symbolic logic. |
|
| Boole completed two systematic treatises on mathematical subjects during his lifetime. |
|
| The library, underground lecture theatre complex and the Boole Centre for Research in Informatics at University College Cork are named in his honour. |
|
| At age 16 Boole became the breadwinner for his parents and three younger siblings, taking up a junior teaching position in Doncaster at Heigham's School. |
|
| At age 19, Boole successfully established his own school in Lincoln. |
|
| In 1847 Boole published the pamphlet Mathematical Analysis of Logic. |
|
| Boolean algebra is named after him, as is the crater Boole on the Moon. |
|
| In 1841 Boole published an influential paper in early invariant theory. |
|
| A road called Boole Heights in Bracknell, Berkshire is named after him. |
|
|
|
| George Boole authored The Laws of Thought which contains Boolean algebra. |
|
| First, in the realm of foundations, Boole reduced Aristotle's four propositional forms to one form, the form of equations, which by itself was a revolutionary idea. |
