Detailed explanation-2: -He worked in the fields of differential equations and algebraic logic, and is best known as the author of The Laws of Thought (1854) which contains Boolean algebra. Boolean logic is credited with laying the foundations for the Information Age. George Boole. Boole, c. 1860.

Detailed explanation-3: -Konrad Zuse designed and built electromechanical logic gates for his computer Z1 (from 1935 to 1938).

Detailed explanation-4: -George Boole (1815–1864) was an English mathematician and a founder of the algebraic tradition in logic. He worked as a schoolmaster in England and from 1849 until his death as professor of mathematics at Queen’s University, Cork, Ireland.

Detailed explanation-5: -Boole laid the foundations of the information age. His pivotal advances in mathematics, logic and probability provided the essential groundwork for modern mathematics, microelectronic engineering and computer science. His influence is such that he has been called the father of the digital age.
