George Boole (/ˈbuːl/; 2 November 1815 – 8 December 1864) was an English mathematician, philosopher and logician.
Life
He worked in the fields of differential equations and algebraic logic, and is now best known as the author of The Laws of Thought.
Boole said:
... no general method for the solution of questions in the theory of probabilities can be established which does not explicitly recognise ... those universal laws of thought which are the basis of all reasoning ...
