One of the key works on the development of logic, de Morgan's work forms the bridge between the researches of Hamilton and Boole. His greatest contribution to scientific knowledge undoubtedly lay in his logical researches; and the subsequent development of symbolic logic, with its powerful influences on both philosophy and technology, owes much to his fundamental work.Augustus de Morgan (1806 - 1871) was awarded the position of first Professor of Mathematics at University College in London in 1828. He founded the London Mathematical Society and was its first president.

From the end of antiquity to the middle of the nineteenth century it was generally believed that Aristotle had said all that there was to say concerning the rules of logic and inference.

He attempts to do several things with what we now see as varying degrees of success. The first is to treat logic as a branch of mathematics, more specifically as algebra. Here his contributions include his laws of complementation...
