On the Algebra in Boole's Laws of Thought
  This article explores the ideas that went into George Boole's development of
an algebra for logical inference in his book The Laws of Thought. We explore in
particular his wife Mary Boole's claim that he was deeply influenced by Indian
logic and argue that his work was more than a framework for processing
propositions. By exploring parallels between his work and Indian logic, we are
able to explain several peculiarities of this work.
