Peirce. Today he still engages the sympathetic interest of logicians and philosophers. The works translated record Schroders journey out of algebra into algebraic logic and document his transformation of George Booles opaque and unwieldy logical calculus into what we now recognize as Boolean algebra. Readers interested in algebraic logic and abstract algebra can look forward to a tour of the early history of those fields with a guide who was exceptionally thorough, unfailingly honest, and deeply reflective.}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/1448494}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-05671-0}, }
