Desmond MacHale Libri

First edition published in 1985 as: George Boole: his life and work. Dublin: Boole Press, 1985.

George Boole was appointed first Professor of Mathematics at the newly founded Queen's College Cork (now UCC). In 1854 he published his great work there, An Investigation of the Laws of Thought which laid the foundations of today's digital revolution.

This book offers a fresh approach to mathematical problem solving via lateral thinking. This book is appropriate for interested high school students, undergraduates and postgraduates, looking for relief from technical material and also looking for insight into the methodology of mathematics.
