First sentence: The adjective "boolean", sometimes even "Boolean", is known to mathematicians for a powerful algebra, to electrical engineers and computing specialists who apply it widely in parts of their work, to philosophers as a component of logic, and to historically-minded people as one George Boole (1815-1864), who formed an algebra of logic from which we enjoy these modern fruits.
