The logician and the engineer : how George Boole and Claude Shannon created the information age /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

Boolean algebra, also called Boolean logic, is at the heart of the electronic circuitry in everything we use--from our computers and cars, to our kitchen gadgets and home appliances. How did a system of mathematics established in the Victorian era become the basis for such incredible technological a...
