(1815-1864)
George Boole was an English mathematician who invented Boolean Algebra. Boolean Algebra is very useful on computers. We used Boolean Mathematics in a very special way in our project. To reconstruct our room we used these primitive or simple shapes: cubes, spheres, pyramids, tori (doughnut-shapes), and cylinders.
