Google Doodle today celebrates the 200th birthday of mathematician, logician George Boole, who devised ‘Boolean Algebra and Logic’, that have profoundly impacted our society.
Boole’s alegbra and logic forms the ground work for computer science and engineering. The Google Doodle today is in the form of a Boolean algebraic code and uses “and, or, not, xor” symbols which are core concepts in Boolean algebra.
The different letters of the Google logo light-up based on the logic gates marked under them. For instance, the first g and the second ‘o’ light up when function (x and y) and (x or y) symbol are on.
George Boole was born on November 2, 1815, in Lincoln United Kingdom, the same place as Isaac Newton. Boole was a professor of Mathematics at the University College Cork in Northern Ireland, which is also celebrating his bicentennial birth anniversary this year as well.
