| George Booleb: Lincoln, England, Nov 2, 1815 d: Ballintemple, Ireland, Dec 8, 1864 English. Mathematician. Helped establish Boolean algebra, which is essential in the design of digital computer circuits.
I presume that few who have paid any attention to the history of the Mathematical Analysis, will doubt that it has been developed in a certain order. No matter how correct a mathematical theorem may appear to be, one ought never to be satisfied that there was not something imperfect about it until it also gives the impression of being beautiful. Of the many forms of false culture, a premature converse with abstractions is perhaps the most likely to prove fatal to the growth of a masculine vigour of intellect. Probability is expectation founded upon partial knowledge. A perfect acquaintance with all the circumstances affecting the occurrence of an event would change expectation into certainty, and leave nether room nor demand for a theory of probabilities. |
