Theres an RTE (Irish National Broadcaster) documentary on George Boole thats very good. He was an interesting and brave figure to travel to Ireland <i>during</i> the Irish famine as an Englishman. He was warmly welcomed and he firmly rejected the condescending aristocratic attitudes prevalent in Victorian Britain at that time.

I&#x27;m not very familiar with the history of this area, but I&#x27;ve heard repeatedly that Wolfram has a pattern of implicitly or explicitly taking credit for results he wasn&#x27;t the first person to discover. Can anyone comment on his claim that he found &quot;the provably very simplest axiom system for logic?&quot;

TL;DR: &quot;And then, as it happens, 16 years ago I ended up finishing this 150-year process, by finding—largely as a side effect of other science I was doing—the provably very simplest possible axiom system for logic, that actually happens to consist of just a single axiom.&quot;, says Stephen Wolfram.<p>So, although the article is seemingly about George Boole and his work, the real hero is the always humble Stephen.
