Prof Muffy Calder is holding a copy of the front page of the book, The Laws of Thought, on which are founded the mathematical theories of logic and probabilities, written by George Boole in Boole is the inventor of Boolean Logic, one of the foundations of computing science. Boolean algebra is Muffy’s favourite algebra!
