Boolean logic  

Definition

  • A branch of deductive logic (which is the science dealing with the principles of valid reasoning and argument) founded by George Boole and Augustus de Morgan in the middle of the nineteenth century. It assumes that any well-formed assertion is either true or false, and it can be used to express relations among objects in a symbolic and formal manner.
