Abstract
The study of relations emerged within the realm of (Algebraic) Logics around the 1850s. At that time, computers were not yet in existence, nor did there exist programming languages or semantics to interpret them. Matrices did come into common use only a hundred years later. Not even the theory of sets had been fully developed. As a consequence, relations carry with them quite a burden of historic presentation. Even in these days, texts appear containing a detailed exegesis of Schröder’s work.
