Abstract: Abstract De Morgan is chiefly remembered today for his work in algebra and logic. He also made noteworthy contributions to probability theory, most especially concerning its use in actuarial mathematics. He headed the British logical probabilistic tradition, exemplified by Boole (q.v.), Jevons (q.v.) and Venn (q.v.).
