Augustus De Morgan
British mathematician and logician (1806–1871)
Augustus De Morgan (27 June 1806 – 18 March 1871) was a British mathematician and logician.
He is best known for De Morgan's laws, relating logical conjunction, disjunction, and negation, and for coining the term "mathematical induction", the underlying principles of which he formalized.[1] De Morgan's contributions to logic are heavily used in many branches of mathematics, including set theory and probability theory, as well as other related fields such as computer science.
