Extract

George Boole gave (in his books, listed under [1] and [2] in the references at the end of this article) a method for solving any equation in his algebra. This part of his work is now largely ignored in the many modern books on boolean algebra which are making their appearance (I can think of several reasons why). Nevertheless, the method can be adapted to conform with our standards of rigour.
