George Boole
by Chas Holloway
Despite being one of the founding figures of modern logic and the namesake of Boolean algebra (which underpins all modern computers), George Boole never actually used the binary system (0 and 1). He formulated his logic using algebraic equations with variables like x and y, not binary digits. The 0s and 1s came later—adapted by others like Claude Shannon nearly a century afterward to build digital circuits.
George Boole is an episode of Thinkopolis, a micro-podcast about the people, events and oddities of western civilization, written and produced by Chas Holloway.
