Boolean algebra, also called Boolean logic, is at the heart of the
electronic circuitry in everything we use--from our computers and
cars, to home appliances. How did a system of mathematics
established in the Victorian era become the basis for such
incredible technological achievements a century later? In The
Logician and the Engineer, Paul Nahin combines engaging problems
and a colorful historical narrative to tell the remarkable story of
how two men in different eras--mathematician and philosopher George
Boole and electrical engineer and pioneering information theorist
Claude Shannon--advanced Boolean logic and became founding fathers
of the electronic communications age. Nahin takes readers from
fundamental concepts to a deeper and more sophisticated
understanding of modern digital machines, in order to explore
computing and its possible limitations in the twenty-first century
and beyond.
