Abstract
The algebraic counterpart of classical sentential logic LS is the variety BA of Boolean algebras. Why is this so important? The answer lies in the general experience that it is usually much easier to solve a problem concerning LS by translating it to BA, solving the algebraic problem, and then translating the result back to LS (than solving it directly in LS).
