The History and Origin of Venn Diagrams
The English logician John Venn popularized the diagram in the 1880s.
1 {NOTE that these # here are footnotes}
He called them Eulerian circles after the Swiss mathematician Leonard Euler, who created similar diagrams in the 1700s.

The term Venn diagram did not appear until 1918 when Clarence Lewis, an American academic philosopher and the eventual founder of conceptual pragmatism, referred to the circular depiction as the Venn diagram in his book A Survey of Symbolic Logic.

Venn studied and taught logic and probability theory at Cambridge University, where he developed his method of using diagrams to illustrate the branch of mathematics known as set theory. He published a precedent-setting work, The Logic of Chance, which explained the frequency theory of probability.

In it, he argued that probability, contrary to popular assumption, should be established based on the regularity with which something is predicted to occur. In another book, Symbolic Logic, Venn built on and developed mathematician George Boole’s theories on algebra.

This work helped him develop the Venn diagram.

Applications for Venn Diagrams
Venn diagrams are used to depict how items relate to each other against an overall backdrop, universe, data set, or environment. A Venn diagram could be used, for example, to compare two companies within the same industry by illustrating the products both companies offer (where circles overlap) and the products that are exclusive to each company (outer circles).

Venn diagrams are, at a basic level, simple pictorial representations of the relationship that exists between two sets of things. However, they can be much more complex. Still, the streamlined purpose of the Venn diagram to illustrate concepts and groups has led to their popularized use in many fields, including statistics, linguistics, logic, education, computer science, and business.
