Publisher's Synopsis
""An Investigation of the Laws of Thought: On Which Are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities"" is a book written by George Boole. The book is a comprehensive study of the laws of thought that are the foundation of mathematical theories of logic and probabilities. Boole's work is a seminal contribution to the field of mathematics and logic, as he introduced algebraic methods to the study of logic, which allowed for the development of more complex mathematical models. The book is divided into four parts, each of which deals with a different aspect of the laws of thought. The first part deals with the concept of logic and the laws of thought, while the second part deals with the algebraic methods used to study logic. The third part deals with the application of these methods to the study of probability, and the fourth part deals with the application of these methods to the study of induction. Throughout the book, Boole presents complex mathematical concepts in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to both novice and expert readers. The book is considered a classic in the field of mathematics and logic, and is still widely studied and cited today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
