George Boole: The Genius George Boole was a British mathematician‚ and he is known as the inventor of Boolean Algebra. His theories combined the concepts of logic and mathematics‚ and hence he is known as the father of mathematical logic. This combination of mathematics and logic came to be known as Boolean algebra‚ and is the basis of digital electronic design‚ which is used in fields ranging from telephone switching to computer engineering. Because of the utilization of the concepts of Boolean

mathematicians agreed with Kronecker that the completed infinite may be part of philosophy or theology‚ but that it has no proper place in mathematics". Even the great Gauss‚ according to the wikipedia article was saying that "Infinity is nothing more than a figure of speech which helps us talk about limits. The notion of a completed infinity doesn’t belong in mathematics"‚ e.g. "the only access we have to the infinite is through the notion of limits‚ and hence‚ we must not treat infinite sets as if they

Martin Holbeach at Felsted‚ Essex‚ where he excelled in learning three languages: Hebrew‚ Latin and Greek. In that same year‚ he was first introduced to mathematics through his brother since his school did not offer mathematics. In Wallis autobiography‚ he explains how his brother showed him the basic rules of arithmetic‚ and Wallis quoted that mathematics “suited my humour so well that I did thenceforth prosecute it‚ not as a formal study‚ but as a pleasing diversion at spare hours...” (C.

mathematicians‚ usually people would envision a male rather than a female. However‚ this is false. Though many males have provided a vast amount of contributions to the mathematic field‚ numerous women have also played an immense role as well. Emmy Noether is one woman in the mathematic field who has contributed and transformed mathematics. Bettye Anne Case and Anne M. Leggett state‚ “Noether is indisputably among the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century” (3). This is one of the reasons that

WHO DISCOVERED MATHEMATICS? The history of the development of mathematics is a long one. No single person is given credit for the "discovery" of mathematics. As man lived in caves before any written language existed‚ he understood the nature of the first few numbers‚ the counting numbers. He could make simple comparisons and could tell that‚ say‚ 9 were more than 6. He would be able to see that if he had‚ say‚ 8 apples and there were 7 people in his group‚ each would get one and there would be
