Augustus De Morgan

Augustus De Morgan was an Indian-born British mathematician and logician?. He was born in 1806 and died in 1871. He proved an important result that [set intersection]? and [set union]? were dual under complementation?.

ie: complement( S intersect T ) == complement(S) union complement(T)

and complement( S union T ) == complement(S) intersect complement(T)

Charles Peirce showed that this result appled to logical and for intersect, logical or for union, and logical negation for complement.
