The Logician and the Engineer : : How George Boole and Claude Shannon Created the Information Age / / Paul J. Nahin.
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 lat...
