Google on Monday celebrated mathematician George Boole’s 200th birthday with an interactive doodle on its homepage. His legacy of Boolean algebra laid the foundations of digital age.
Georgeboole.com, a University of College Cork website that is dedicated to him, says the Englishman “invented a new kind of mathematics by classifying thought and codifying it using algebraic language.”
Many of us his works were primarily in the fields of differential equations, probability and algebraic logic.
