Abstract

This is a paper of divulgative character in which our aim is to study some classical results about boolean structures from the viewpoint of P. Halmos [4]. In particular, we are interested in the proofs of two fundamental isomorphism theorems of boolean algebras. Also, we discuss a recent and illustrative representation of the
RNAm in terms of the boolean algebra Z62[3].
