9 The Shepherd A gifted information scientist

10 Running out sticks!!! One-to-one correspondence between physical entities is not efficient

11 Use a small number of sticks to represent a large number!!!

12 Use a small number of sticks to represent a large number!!!

13 Use a small number of sticks to represent a large number!!!

14 special combinations of physical entities lead to physical symbols special combinations of physical entities provide an efficient way to represent large quantities

15 special combinations of physical entities lead to physical symbols why use physical entities? Striving for efficiency with physical model collections leads to the development of an abstract system of SYMBOLS

16 Leibniz was shepherding decimal digits... and came up with the binary system XVI Language can be used beyond quantities... winning games... I CAN WIN NIM

17 Progress starts with the introduction of new languages Languages help in reasoning about the invisible Languages help in reasoning beyond our natural sense

18 Progress starts with the introduction of new languages Languages help in reasoning about the invisible Languages help in reasoning beyond our natural sense Gottfried Leibniz Leibniz was the first person to understand that the key in Information is the LANGUAGE The founder of Information Science

19 Gottfried Leibniz Leibniz The Founder of Information Science Contributed to: Mathematics Physics Logic Probability Computing Philosophy Politics Law History Library science His work was recognized mainly starting 1900

20 Gottfried Leibniz Leibniz Information and Logic Leibniz was born on July 1 st, 1646 in Leipzig When Leibniz was six years old, his father, a Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Leipzig, died, leaving a personal library to which h Leibniz i had free access His mother Catharina instilled the love for studying in him, By 12 he had taught himself Latin... He entered the University of Leipzig at age 14, and completed university studies by 20 Source: Wikipedia

21 Gottfried Leibniz Leibniz Information and Logic U. of Leipzig declined to award him a doctorate because of his young age...??... Leibniz submitted the thesis he had intended to submit at Leipzig to the University of Altdorf and obtained his doctorate in law... He never held an academic position, and spent the rest of his life in the service of German noble families

22 Gottfried Leibniz He never held an academic position, and spent the rest of his life in the service of German noble families How does a lawyer/diplomat l become an inventor/major contributor to calculus, algorithms, logic,...???? curiosity passion for learning mentoring

23 Gottfried Leibniz He never held an academic position, and spent the rest of his life in the service of German noble families Went to Paris in 1672 (was 26) on a diplomatic mission, stayed there until 1676 curiosity passion for learning mentoring

37 Gottfried Leibniz Leibniz Information and Computing Blaise Pascal Whil i P i t d th fi t hi bl f While in Paris created the first machine capable of computing multiplication, division, square roots

38 Gottfried Leibniz Leibniz and Language Languages for everything!!!! "The only way to rectify our reasonings is to make them as tangible as those of the Mathematicians, so that we can find our error at a glance, and when there are disputes among persons, we can simply py say: Let us calculate [calculemus], without further ado, to see who is right" (The Art of Discovery 1685)

39 Gottfried Leibniz Leibniz and Language Characteristica Universalis: Leibniz s goal was to develop an alphabet of human thought, a universal symbolic language (characteristic) to describe nature Leibniz s dream: 300 years later, it is still a dream... A magic box for nature...

46 Aristotle Aristotle BC Philosophy?? Love of knowledge Aristotle was a Greek philosopher who wrote on diverse subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, biology and zoology, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, and ethics. He was a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great

47 Aristotle and Biology He examined over 500 different species of animals I. Blooded Animals II. Non-Blooded Animals III. Dualizers (share properties of more than one group) -Classification - Development - Reproduction Interesting mistake: believed that thinking occurred in the region around the heart and not in the brain Source : Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy

48 Aristotle and Biology He examined over 500 different species of animals I. Blooded Animals A. Live bearing animals 1. Homo Sapiens 2. Other mammals B. Egg-laying animals 1. Birds 2. Fish II. Non-Blooded Animals A. Shell skinned sea animals B. Soft shelled sea animals C. Non-shelled soft skinned sea animals D. Insects E. Bees III. Dualizers (share properties of more than one group) A. Whales and seals they give live birth yet they live in the sea B. Bats they have four appendages yet they fly C. Sponges they act like both plants and like animals Source : Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy

49 Aristotle BC Aristotle and Logic Motivated by his work in Biology? Aristotle key motivation for developing logic was to provide a procedure for checking the validity of arguments and to derive new conclusions based on existing premises No homework is fun IST4 assignments are homework IST4 should not have assignments

50 Aristotle BC Aristotle and Logic A (Greek: "conclusion", "inference"), is a kind of logical argument in which one proposition (the conclusion) is inferred from two others (the premises) of a certain form No homework is fun IST4 assignments are homework IST4 should not have assignments

51 Aristotle BC Aristotle and Logic The Babylonians were wise people Leibniz was a wise person Leibniz i was a Babylonian??? People that are wise are Babylonians Leibniz was wise Leibniz was a Babylonian

52 Aristotle and Logic The Babylonians were wise people Leibniz was a wise person Leibniz was a Babylonian

53 Aristotle and Logic People that are wise are Babylonians Leibniz was wise Leibniz was a Babylonian

54 Aristotle BC Aristotle and Logic A syllogism (Greek: "conclusion", " "inference"), ") Developed an algorithm (syntax based) to solve syllogisms A statement has a rigid form and includes two terms Aristotle considered four types of statements: A: All S is P A: All pirates are thieves E: No S is P I: Some S is P O: Some S is not P E: No pirates are reliable I: Some thieves are pirates O: Some pirates are not reliable Some = at least one

55 - All babies are illogical - Nobody is despised who can manage a crocodile - Illogical persons are despised - All babies are illogical - Nobody is despised who can manage a crocodile - Illogical persons are despised babies cannot manage a crocodile

56 Lewis Carroll

57 ???? 1. All, who neither dance on tight ropes nor eat penny-buns, are old. 2. Pigs that are liable to giddiness are treated with respect. 3. A wise balloonist takes an umbrella with him. 4. No one ought to lunch in public who looks ridiculous and eats penny-buns. 5. Young creatures who go up in balloons are liable to giddiness. 6. Fat creatures who look ridiculous may lunch in public if they do not dance on tight-ropes. 7. No wise creatures dance on tight-ropes if they are liable to giddiness. 8. A pig looks ridiculous carrying an umbrella. 9. All, who do not dance on tight-ropes and who are treated with respect, are fat.

58 NO WISE PIGS GO UP IN BALLONS NO!!

59 3 is a small number need a number system Gottfried Leibniz for logic... Leibniz tried very hard to solve this problem!!

60 ~2000 years later , Algebra of Logic George Boole a number system for logic...

61 Syllogism to Algebra George Boole, 1847 The validity of algebra depends only on syntax Syntax Semantics

62 Syllogism to Algebra George Boole, 1847 Criticizing the fact that Mathematics is perceived as only the Science of Magnitude

63 Syllogism to Algebra George Boole, 1847 Calculus of Logic is part of Mathematics!!

64 Syllogism to Algebra George Boole, 1847 Connection to the past - Aristotle A: All S is P E: No S is P I: Some S is P O: Some S is not P

65 Syllogism to Algebra George Boole, 1847 In the class = 1 Not in the class = 0 X not-x If x is 1, (1-x) is 0 If (1-x) is 1, x is 0

66 Syllogism to Algebra George Boole, 1847 In the class = 1 Not in the class = 0 X not-x If x is 1, (1-x) is 0 If (1-x) is 1, x is 0

67 Syllogism to Algebra G B l 1847 George Boole, 1847 A: All S is P If x is 1, y has to be 1 If x is 0, y is either 0 or 1 X Y

68 Theodore Hailperin February 5, 2014 Calculus of Logic can express Aristotle s syllogism, and MORE However, there were many issues with Boole s formalization...

69 Historical notes: Boolean Algebra Pre-Boole (16xx): Leibniz; universal language for reasoning Inception (18xx): Boole, Jevons, Peirce, Venn, Schroder, De Morgan Next step: Huntington 1904; concise set of axioms (four) Sheffer 1913: Five axioms and one binary operation Huntington/Robbins 1933: three axioms, conjecture Recent progress : McCune 1996; Robbins conjecture proved!

70 The Algebra (Boolean Calculus) Boole, Jevons, Peirce, Schroder (18xx) Axiomatic System: Huntington t (1904) Algebraic system: set of elements B, two binary operations + and B has at least two elements (0 and 1) If the following axioms are true then it is a Boolean Algebra: A1. identity A2. complement A3. commutative A4. distributive

71 The Algebra (Boolean Calculus) Boole, Jevons, Peirce, Schroder (18xx) Axiomatic System: Huntington t (1904) Algebraic system: set of elements B, two binary operations + and Questions??? Distributive axiom looks strange? B has at least two elements (0 and 1) If The the complement following axioms is not well are defined, true unique? then it is a Boolean Algebra: A1. identity A2. complement A3. commutative Associativity? A4. distributive ( ) ( ) ( )

72 Two Values or not Two Values? Algebraic system: set of elements B, two binary operations + and More questions??? B has at least two elements (0 and 1) Yes Can a Boolean algebra have more than two elements? No Can a Boolean algebra have three elements? Yes Can a Boolean algebra have four elements?

73 Axioms to Theorems Algebraic system: set of elements B, two binary operations + and B has at least two elements (0 and 1) Axioms: Building blocks for developing the theory of Boolean Algebra
