Abstract
George Boole was an English mathematician who can be considered one of the founders of modern logic. Boole applied algebraic methods to logic, thereby creating a language that allows the construction of algorithms applicable to an infinite generality of arguments. This advance overcame the traditional Aristotelian approach and laid the grounds for the birth of modern logic and its subsequent developments. The particular type of algebra developed by Boole constituted the fundamental basis for the development of computer science and calculators.
