November 2 - the most IT day of the year

For a couple of years I have been following the birthdays of key (and at the same time not very key) people in the field of information technology and computer science. November 2 - the most concentrated day of "my IT calendar" - as many as 6 birthday people: Irish, Hindu, Ukrainian, two Russians and "American." 83, (3)% of them are human.

Let the Happy Birthday post begin.

George Boole , 1815


"Pure mathematics was discovered by Boolee in the work he called 'The Laws of Thinking'."
- Bertrand Russell

Founding father of mathematical logic and computer science. In his honor, named the type of the variable Boolean in programming. Last year celebrated the 200th anniversary.

Two systematic treatises were created on mathematical topics by Boolem during life: "Treatise on differential equations" and "Treatise on finite differences". These works have made important contributions to the relevant sections of mathematics and at the same time have shown Buhl’s deep understanding of the philosophy of his subject.

Leonid Levin , 1948



Deserved the Kolmogorov Medal and the Knut Award .

Regardless of Steven Cook, he proved in 1971 the Cook – Levine theorem, thanks to which the problem of the equality of the classes P and NP was formulated, which became one of the millennium problems.

The Cook – Levine theorem states that the problem of the satisfiability of a Boolean formula in a CNF ( SAT ) is NP-complete .
