The Mathematical Analysis of Logic: Being an Essay Towards a Calculus of Deductive Reasoning (Key Texts S.) - Softcover
Synopsis
George Boole is known as the first logician to apply algebraical methods to logic successfully. His work, first published in 1847, laid the foundations for what is known today as Boolean algebra and the propositional calulus. Written in response to the altercation between Sir William Hamilton and Augustus de Morgan over the quantification of the predicate within syllogistic theory, its innovations led other logicians, among them William Stanley Jevons, John Venn, Charles Sanders Pierce and Ernst Schroder, to refine and develop Boole's system. In turn, their efforts were incorporated by Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell in the system of "Principia Mathematica".

Book Description
In 1847, mathematician George Boole published a pamphlet, The Mathematical Analysis of Logic, which launched him into history as one of the nineteenth century's most innovative thinkers. This work was the first to construct a mathematics of logic and the human intellect, establishing the close relationship between mathematics and philosophy.
