Logic And Logic Of Computer Science And Computers

1. Introduction The purpose of this report is to give information on the subject known as Logical reasoning and its use in Computer Science and computers in general. A historical background behind logic and Logical reasoning is firstly given, followed by an overview of the modern subject and the types it’s divided into. The types are then explained. The overlap between the field of logic and that of computer science is also given an explanation. The report ends with a brief overview on the subject and its tie to computer science and computing. 2. History of Logic and Reasoning 2.1 Logic in Greece and Europe The term â€Å"Logic† hails from the ancient Greek word logike and is a discipline which utilizes and studies valid reasoning. It is heavily relied upon in a number of subjects such as mathematics, philosophy and computer science, its roots being traced to ancient civilizations including Greece, India, China and Persia. In Europe logic was first employed by Aristotle, his so called Aristotelian logic was widely used in science and mathematics until the early 19th century. During the Middle and High middle ages people went to great lengths to show that his ideas were compatible with the Cristian faith, by that time logic had become the main focus of philosophers. 2.2 Logic in India In India logic went under the name of Nyaya, it underwent dynamic changes from its founding in ancient times up to the early 18th century. According to some people Indian logic contains â€Å"...theShow MoreRelatedThe Contributions Of George Bole And Boolean Logic974 Words   |  4 PagesChristian Bur Angel Poling MATH 129 September 26, 2017 George Boole and Boolean Logic If you own a computer, tablet, or smartphone, you already use the contributions of George Boole to the worlds of technology and mathematics. Boole, an Englishman, was an intellectual who was interested in many fields including poetry, languages, science, and metaphysics. However, it was his interest in mathematics that drove him to pursue knowledge in many areas of the subject, and he went on to write numerous papersRead MoreTechnological Influences on Early Science Fiction1189 Words   |  5 PagesScience fiction is filled with a wide variety of technologies. Sometimes the technology presented is merely a transposition of existing technologies into the story. At other times, the author takes existing technologies and extrapolates potential novel technology with uncanny accuracy. In both cases, existing technologies have an obvious impact upon the author. Written during the first generation of electronic computers, Starman Jones (1953) and A Logic Named Joe (1946) provide excellent examplesRead MoreEssay Boolean Logic1555 Words   |  7 PagesBoolean Logic Many of our computer databases utilize boolean logic as the basis of querying the database. Boolean logic has a much older history than most computer users imagine. It is helpful to understand the background and theory behind this concept, because this theory is the foundation on which contemporary computer science and information technology has been built. George Boole was an English mathematician. Born in 1815, he had no formal higher education, but had a natural gift for mathematicsRead MoreFuzzy Based Automated System For Predicting Viral Infections1505 Words   |  7 PagesFuzzy based Automated System for Predicting Viral Infections(Chicken Pox, Swine Flu and Dengue) Ravinkal Kaur Dept. of computer science and engineering CTITR Jalandhar, India ravinkal93@gmail.com Sarabjit Kaur Assistant Professor Dept. of computer science and engineering CTITR Jalandhar, India er_sarabjitkaur35@rediffmail.com Virat Rehani Assistant Professor Dept. of computer applications CTIMIT Jalandhar, India vrehani@yahoo.com Abstract— Health protection is the improvement of health viaRead MoreA Study Of Computer System1581 Words   |  7 PagesNowadays, computer is able to help in a wide range.

His theories combined the concepts of logic and mathematics, and hence he is known as the father of mathematical logic. This combination of mathematics and logic came to be known as Boolean algebra, and is the basis of digital electronic design, which is used in fields ranging from telephone switching to computer engineering. Because of the utilization of the concepts of Boolean algebra in electronics and computers, George Boole is regarded by many as the father of computingRead MoreLetter About My Dream Job798 Words   |  4 Pagesof all, I want to thank you for giving me an opportunity to prove myself and to serve this company.

His most famous accomplishment was in 1866, writing The Logic of Chance, a groundbreaking book that explained the frequency theory of probability. The Logic of Chance offered that probability should be determined by how often something is forecast to occur as opposed to â€Å"educated† assumptions. Venn also further developed mathematician George Boole s theories in the 1881 work Symbolic Logic, in which he highlighted what would become known as Venn diagrams. Venn Diagrams were
