− | Biographical Data for Marius Sophus Lie (1842-1899):
| + | We made the observation that the shift operators <math>\{ \operatorname{E}_{ij} \}</math> form a transformation group that acts on the set of propositions of the form <math>f : \mathbb{B} \times \mathbb{B} \to \mathbb{B}.</math> Group theory is a very attractive subject, but it did not draw us so far from our intended course as one might initially think. For one thing, groups, especially the groups that are named after the Norwegian mathematician [http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Lie.html Marius Sophus Lie (1842–1899)], have turned out to be of critical utility in the solution of differential equations. For another thing, group operations provide us with an ample supply of triadic relations that have been extremely well-studied over the years, and thus they give us no small measure of useful guidance in the study of sign relations, another brand of 3-adic relations that have significance for logical studies, and in our acquaintance with which we have scarcely begun to break the ice.
