    Contributions to the foundations of computational complexity theory and its application to cryptography and program checking [16] 1966 Böhm, Corrado: Theorized of the concept of structured programming. 1847, 1854 Boole, George: Formalized Boolean algebra, the basis for digital logic and computer science. 1947 Booth, Kathleen

  3. George Boole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Boole

    Boole was born in 1815 in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England, the son of John Boole Snr (1779–1848), a shoemaker [7] and Mary Ann Joyce. [8] He had a primary school education, and received lessons from his father, but due to a serious decline in business, he had little further formal and academic teaching. [9]

  4. A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Symbolic_Analysis_of...

    The utilization of the binary properties of electrical switches to perform logic functions is the basic concept that underlies all electronic digital computer designs. Shannon's thesis became the foundation of practical digital circuit design when it became widely known among the electrical engineering community during and after World War II .

  5. Boolean data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_data_type

    George Boole. In computer science, the Boolean (sometimes shortened to Bool) is a data type that has one of two possible values (usually denoted true and false) which is intended to represent the two truth values of logic and Boolean algebra. It is named after George Boole, who first

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boole_family

    The Boole family is an English family with number of illustrious scientists, intellectuals and artists. This is the family of George Boole, a mathematician, philosopher and logician. Boole's Boolean Algebra laid the foundation of modern computer science. George Boole was born in 1815 to John Boole Sr., a shoemaker and Mary Ann Joyce.

  7. Classical logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_logic

    Though he never questioned Aristotle, George Boole's algebraic reformulation of logic, so-called Boolean logic, was a predecessor of modern mathematical logic and classical logic. William Stanley Jevons and John Venn, who also had the modern understanding of existential import, expanded Boole's system. Begriffsschrift title page

  8. Logic synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_synthesis

    In computer engineering, logic synthesis is a process by which an abstract specification of desired circuit behavior, typically at register transfer level (RTL), is turned into a design implementation in terms of logic gates, typically by a computer program called a synthesis tool.

  9. Boole's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boole's_rule

    Composite Boole's Rule [ edit ] In cases where the integration is permitted to extend over equidistant sections of the interval [ a , b ] {\displaystyle [a,b]} , the composite Boole's rule might be applied.
