Where Does The Term "Boolean" Originate From?

The term Boolean was derived from George Boole's name who was the father of this discipline in mathematics. He had attempted to regulate the formal process of logic by creating a unique algebraic system for formulating and categorizing concepts and ideas. He had had introduced the first sets of Boolean logic in a pamphlet that he had published in 1847, called The Mathematical Analysis of Logic. Later he went on to formally introduce the concept in a book The Laws of Thought, published in 1854.

It comes from George Boole the inventor of Boolean Algebra.

Boolean (or Boolean algebra, as it is known) is a mathematical concept named after the English mathematician George Boole (1815 to 1864). Boole was a self-educated mathematician and formulated a logical system to work out algebraic equations. He published these in a book he wrote in 1854, which was entitled 'The Laws of Thought'.

According to Boolean algebra, conjunction and disjunction are not a pair of operations. The first systematic presentations of Boolean logic were found in the works of William Jevons and Charles Peirce in the 1860's (the concept originated in the 1860's, and used concepts of logic that were first formulated by Boole in the 1850's), Ernst Schroder's Vorlesunger in 1890, A.N. Whitehead's Universal Algebra in 1898, Edward Vermilye Huntington's paper published in 1904, Marshall Stone's work in the 1930's and the Lattice Theory propounded by Garrett Birkhoff in 1940. Two of the recent mathematicians to have a significant role in the development of Boolean algebra are Paul Cohen and Dana Scott who, along with others, have made important contributions to this discipline of study.
