Boole

: Boole proposed that in his system, a class multiplied by itself is equal to itself (e.g., the class of "white sheep" intersected with the class of "white sheep" is still just "white sheep"). He noted that in numerical algebra, this law is only true for the numbers 0 and 1, which corresponds to the binary "True/False" logic used today.

Boole is most famous for transforming traditional logic into an algebraic system. : : Boole proposed that in his system, a
