This 1860 classic, written by one of the great mathematicians of
the 19th century, was designed as a sequel to his Treatise on
Differential Equations (1859). Divided into two sections
("Difference- and Sum-Calculus" and "Difference- and Functional
Equations"), and containing more than 200 exercises (complete with
answers), Boole discusses: . nature of the calculus of finite
differences . direct theorems of finite differences . finite
integration, and the summation of series . Bernoulli's number, and
factorial coefficients . convergency and divergency of series .
difference-equations of the first order . linear
difference-equations with constant coefficients . mixed and partial
difference-equations . and much more. No serious mathematician's
library is complete without A Treatise on the Calculus of Finite
Differences. English mathematician and logician GEORGE BOOLE
(1814-1864) is best known as the founder of modern symbolic logic,
and as the inventor of Boolean algebra, the foundation of the
modern field of computer science. His other books include An
Investigation of the Laws of Thought (1854).
