Quotes ‘European science could never have reached its present height had it not been fertilised by successive wafts from the […] knowledge stored up in the East.’ ‘Think what must have been the effect of the intense Hinduizing of three such men as Babbage, De Morgan and George Boole on the mathematical atmosphere of 1830–1865.’ ‘I do as George Boole and De Morgan did: I bow my head inreverent thankfulness to that mysterious East, whence come to us wafts of some transcendent power the nature of which we ourselves can hardly state in words.’ Boole, Mary Everest. ‘Indian Logic and Western Science in the Nineteenth Century’. In Collected Works, Vol. 3, edited by E. M. Cobham and E. S. Dummer, pp. 947-967.
