Abstract
It is ironic to think that the foundations of modern electronic logic theory was laid down by the Rev. George Boole in 1847 before electronics were even thought of! He wrote a paper entitled Mathematical Analysis of Logic, where he showed that algebraic formulae can be used to express logical relationships. Mathematicians refer to logic theory as set theory, or the theory of ‘sets’.
