Problem: Using your knowledge of free objects in a category, give a definition of a free Boolean algebra B on a set D. How these compare to free Boolean rings?

Solution:
A Boolean algebra B is called free on a set D if there is a mapping f:D-->B such that for any Boolean algebra B' and a mapping f':D-->B' there exists a unique Boolean algebras homomorphism g:B-->B' such that gf=f'. In fact, the free Boolean algebra on a set D is the image of D under the left adjoint functor of the forgetful functor ...
