University College Cork is delighted to welcome Professor Muffy Calder OBE, Professor of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow, and Professor Alberto Sangiovanni Vincentelli, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California Berkeley, to its renowned campus for the George Boole 200 Inaugural Lectures. The lectures,hosted by Professor Patrick Fitzpatrick, will be followed by a panel discussion and question and answer session. Desmond MacHale, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at University College Cork, and author of the seminal biography The Life and Work of George Boole: a prelude to the digital age (Cork University Press, 2014) will join the panel. These lectures will bring Boole’s logic and algebra to life, showing how Boolean thought has influenced our modern world.
The event is free to attend but registration is required.
University College Cork, Ireland greatly appreciates the support of Mr Brian Kingham and Reliance Cyber Services, who have so generously enabled the George Boole 200 Inaugural lectures at the University.
George Boole 200
In 2015, University College Cork celebrates the bicentenary of George Boole, 1815-64. Born in Lincoln, Boole was a mathematical genius who was largely self-taught. His appointment as the first Professor of Mathematics at this University in 1849 provided him with the opportunity to develop his most important work, An Investigation of the Laws of Thought. Boole is a pivotal figure whose work laid the scientific foundations for the ‘information age’. His invention of Boolean algebra and symbolic logic pioneered a new mathematics. His legacy surrounds us everywhere, in the computers, information storage and retrieval systems, electronic circuits and controls that support life, learning and communications in the 21st century.Read more

A year-long celebration of the life and legacy of George Boole was announced by UCC President Michael Murphy to a gathering in UCC’s Aula Maxima in January 2013 in honour of the visit of the Irish Technology Leadership Group (ITLG) to the university.
Since then, a steering group, originally chaired by Professor Patrick Fitzpatrick (former Head of the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science) and now chaired by the President, has been working intensively on planning a programme for the year.
In preparing for the celebrations we are working closely with Cork City Council and the University of Lincoln.
