L'étude des notes du mathématicien Kurt Gödel (1906-1978) montre qu'il croyait à l'existence des anges et du diable, parmi d'autres idées étranges. Il tenta de constituer ces idées en un système logique cohérent. Cette analyse, présentée sous forme de courtes fictions, éclaire d…
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 incre…
George Boole and Claude Shannon : two mini-biographies -- Boolean algebra -- Logical switching circuits -- Boole, Shannon, and probability -- Some combinatorial design logic examples -- Sequential-state digital circuits -- Turing machines -- Beyond Boole and Shannon. How George…
Examines how mathematician and philosopher George Boole and electrical engineer Claude Shannon became the fathers of the information age by advancing Boolean logic, and looks at the influence of other factors, including the Turing machine.
