Excerpt from A Treatise on Differential Equations, and on the Calculus of Finite Differences Every differential equation of the first order and degree is either the direct derived equation of a primitive; or it results from the combination of the derived equation with its primitive, so as to eliminate a constant which enters in each only to the first power; the former sort are called exact, the latter inexact.

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. His other books include An Investigation of the Laws of Thought (1854).

Linear Differential Equations and Oscillators is the first book within Ordinary Differential Equations with Applications to Trajectories and Vibrations, Six-volume Set. As a set, they are the fourth volume in the series Mathematics and Physics Applied to Science and Technology. This first book consists of chapters 1 and 2 of the fourth volume. The first chapter covers linear differential equations of any order whose unforced solution can be obtained from the roots of a characteristic polynomial, namely those: (i) with constant coefficients; (ii) with homogeneous power coefficients with the exponent equal to the order of derivation. The method of characteristic polynomials is also applied to (iii) linear finite difference equations of any order with constant coefficients. The unforced and forced solutions of (i,ii,iii) are examples of some general properties of ordinary differential equations. The second chapter applies the theory of the first chapter to linear second-order oscillators with one degree-of-freedom, such as the mechanical mass-damper-spring-force system and the electrical self-resistor-capacitor-battery circuit. In both cases are treated free undamped, damped, and amplified oscillations; also forced oscillations including beats, resonance, discrete and continuous spectra, and impulsive inputs. Describes general properties of differential and finite difference equations, with focus on linear equations and constant and some power coefficients Presents particular and general solutions for all cases of differential and finite difference equations Provides complete solutions for many cases of forcing including resonant cases Discusses applications to linear second-order mechanical and electrical oscillators with damping Provides solutions with forcing including resonance using the characteristic polynomial, Green' s functions, trigonometrical series, Fourier integrals and Laplace transforms

Modern mathematical logic would not exist without the analytical tools first developed by George Boole in The Mathematical Analysis of Logic and The Laws of Thought. The influence of the Boolean school on the development of logic, always recognised but long underestimated, has recently become a major research topic. This collection is the first anthology of works on Boole. It contains two works published in 1865, the year of Boole's death, but never reprinted, as well as several classic studies of recent decades and ten original contributions appearing here for the first time. From the programme of the English Algebraic School to Boole's use of operator methods, from the problem of interpretability to that of psychologism, a full range of issues is covered. The Boole Anthology is indispensable to Boole studies and will remain so for years to come.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Calculus of Finite Differences As such Treatises as the present are in close connexion with the course of Mathematical Study at the University Of Cambridge, there is considerable difficulty in deciding the question how far they should aim at being exhaustive. I have held it best not to insert investigations that involve complicated analysis unless they possess great suggestiveness or are the bases Of important developments of the subject. Under the present system the premium on wide superficial reading is so great that such investigations, if inserted.
