Augustus De Morgan (1806–1871) was a British mathematician and logician best known for formulating De Morgan's laws. De Morgan is also known for coining the term "mathematical induction" and for formalizing the underlying principles of induction.[1] De Morgan's contributions to logic have been used in set theory, probability theory, computer science, and other fields.
