He is famous for introducing the Venn diagram, which is used in many fields, including set theory, probability, logic, statistics, and computer science. Venn's main area of interest was logic and he published three texts on the subject. He wrote The Logic of Chance which introduced the frequency interpretation or frequency theory of probability in 1866, Symbolic Logic which introduced the Venn diagrams in 1881, and The Principles of Empirical Logic in 1889. In 1883, Venn was elected to the Royal Society. In 1897, he wrote a history of his college, called The Biographical History of Gonville and Caius College,1349–1897. He began a compilation of biographical notes of Cambridge University alumni, a work which was continued by his son, John Archibald Venn (1883-1958) and published as Alumni Cantabrigienses in 10 volumes from 1922-1953.
