The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the algebra of logic, a branch of mathematics that deals with the manipulation of logical statements using mathematical symbols and operations. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the basic principles of the algebra of logic, including the laws of thought, the principles of identity, contradiction, and excluded middle, and the use of symbols and operations to represent logical statements. The second part of the book provides numerous examples of how the algebra of logic can be applied to solve problems and analyze logical arguments. Throughout the book, Macfarlane emphasizes the importance of clear and precise thinking in the process of logical analysis. He provides numerous examples of how logical reasoning can be used to solve real-world problems in fields such as science, engineering, and philosophy. Overall, Principles of the Algebra of Logic, with Examples is a seminal work in the field of logic and mathematics, and remains an important resource for students and scholars interested in the principles of logical reasoning and the algebraic manipulation of logical statements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
