Inhaltsangabe

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.
