Every Boolean algebra ( A, ∧, ∨) gives rise to a ring ( A, +, ·) by defining a + b := ( a ∧ ¬ b ) ∨ ( b ∧ ¬ a ) = ( a ∨ b ) ∧ ¬( a ∧ b ) ( this operation is called symmetric difference in the case of sets and XOR in the case of logic ) and a · b := a ∧ b. The zero element of this ring coincides with the 0 of the Boolean algebra ; the multiplicative identity element of the ring is the 1 of the Boolean algebra.

More specifically, the continuum hypothesis / assumption hinges on the concepts of a representative volume element ( RVE ) ( sometimes called " representative elementary volume ") and separation of scales based on the Hill – Mandel condition.

Andrés Manuel del Río discovered compounds of vanadium in 1801 by analyzing a new lead-bearing mineral he called " brown lead ," and presumed its qualities were due to the presence of a new element, which he named erythronium ( Greek for " red ") since, upon heating, most of its salts turned from their initial color to red.
