Boolian

/ˈbuːliən/ adjective

Definition

A variant or misspelling of 'Boolean,' relating to a system of logic using true and false values.

Etymology

Named after mathematician George Boole (1815-1864), who developed Boolean algebra. The spelling 'boolian' is non-standard; 'Boolean' is correct.

Kelly Says

George Boole's system—just two values, true or false—became the foundation of computer science and every if-then statement ever written in code, making him arguably the godfather of computing.
