As an example we could take the nineteenth-century mathematician and philosopher John Venn, who introduced the Venn Diagram in 1881. The idea is simple Three overlapping circles intersect to create eight distinct areas Despite their simplicity, such diagrams can be used to represent complex logical propositions and algebraic statements In charting the history of Venn diagrams, Edwards reveals that John Venn devised the diagrams in the late 1880s in an effort to create a symbolic logic, Since then, the diagrams have permeated art and economics, as well as mathematics and logic. Venn is derived from the centuries-old Venn Diagram invented by a renowned British logician, John Venn. |
