Boole, George, 1815-1864
George Boole papers, 1847-1856.
Mostly personal correspondence from Boole to family and friends describing his working life and activities in Cork. Unfortunately, none of his academic material, e.g., notes, lectures, etc. is contained here. Section C, academic material, contains copies of published works, some unpublished lectures and some matematical exercises, along with his testimonials.
First professor of mathematics at Queens College, Cork (now University College, Cork). The inventor of Boolean Logic, he laid the foundations in the latter half of the 19th century of a system of mathematical expression which formed the basis for all modern computer languages.
