Questa tesi ripercorre la vita e l'opera di George Boole, matematico autodidatta e pioniere della logica simbolica, volendone evidenziarne l'impatto nella storia della scienza e della tecnologia. Partendo dalla sua formazione e ripercorrendo la sua principale opera "The Laws of Thought" in cui formalizza per la prima vola il legame tra logica e algebra. Nella seconda parte vedremo le applicazioni storiche che ne sono conseguite.

Abstract
This thesis retraces the life and work of George Boole, a self-taught mathematician and pioneer of symbolic logic, aiming to highlight his impact on the history of science and technology. It begins with his education and examines his main work, The Laws of Thought, in which he formalized for the first time the connection between logic and algebra. The second part explores the historical applications that followed from his theories.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
