Symbolical Methods Of Study

by Mary Everest Boole

Symbolical Methods of Study is a book written by Mary Everest Boole, a British mathematician and educator. The book was first published in 1901 and is considered to be one of the most important works on the use of symbols in the study of mathematics.In this book, Boole explores the use of symbols as a means of understanding complex mathematical concepts. She argues that symbols can be used to represent abstract ideas and that they can be manipulated in order to reveal new insights into mathematical problems.Throughout the book, Boole provides numerous examples of how symbols can be used to solve mathematical problems. She also discusses the limitations of symbolic methods and the importance of understanding the underlying concepts behind the symbols.Symbolical Methods of Study is a groundbreaking work that has had a lasting impact on the study of mathematics. It remains an important resource for mathematicians and educators today, offering valuable insights into the use of symbols in the study of mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the author

Mary Everest Boole (11 March 1832 in Wickwar, Gloucestershire – 17 May 1916 in Middlesex, England) was a self-taught mathematician who is best known as an author of didactic works on mathematics, such as Philosophy and Fun of Algebra, and as the wife of fellow mathematician George Boole. Her progressive ideas on education, as expounded in The Preparation of the Child for Science, included encouraging children to explore mathematics through playful activities such as curve stitching. Her life is of interest to feminists as an example of how women made careers in an academic system that did not welcome them.
