    Extractions: Introduction Laws of Boolean Algebra Commutative Law Associative Law ... On-line Quiz The most obvious way to simplify Boolean expressions is to manipulate them in the same way as normal algebraic expressions are manipulated. With regards to logic relations in digital forms, a set of rules for symbolic manipulation is needed in order to solve for the unknowns. A set of rules formulated by the English mathematician George Boole describe certain propositions whose outcome would be either true or false . With regard to digital logic, these rules are used to describe circuits whose state can be either, 1 (true) or (false) . In order to fully understand this, the relation between the AND gate OR gate and NOT gate operations should be appreciated. A number of rules can be derived from these relations as Table 1 demonstrates. P1: X = or X = 1

    http://www.mayothi.com/boolean.html
    
    Extractions: Another system programmers use, is the hexadecimal system. This is really for clever persons, cause they count with 16 digits! But wait, there exists only 9 different digits - how do they do it? Simple, when the digits are finished, just use letters. This is how you count in hexadecimal from zero to twenty: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10, 12, 13, 14. To show that the numbers are hexadecimal, you can either add an 'h' after the value (e.g. 10h), or add a 0x in front of it (e.g.0x10). Boolean Operations When we do math, we like to use plus, minus, multiply and divide. Computers however like to do others things, namely: AND, OR, XOR and NOT. The easiest way to get to know these operations is by looking at some examples: Please note that the orders of these operations don't matter (thus: 1 AND = AND 1) 1 AND 1 = 1

    Extractions: Draw the schematic diagram for the digital circuit to be analyzed. Carefully build this circuit on a breadboard or other convenient medium. Check the accuracy of the circuit's construction, following each wire to each connection point, and verifying these elements one-by-one on the diagram. Analyze the circuit, determining all output logic states for given input conditions. Carefully measure those logic states, to verify the accuracy of your analysis. If there are any errors, carefully check your circuit's construction against the diagram, then carefully re-analyze the circuit and re-measure.

    Extractions: Boolean Algebra is both a formalization of the algebraic aspects of logic , and the customary language of logic used by the designers of computers. A Boolean Algebra is defined as: These axioms are the same as the properties with those names which we discussed earlier; here we call them axioms because they are assumptions: from them, all of the remaining properties can be formally derived. Logic is a Boolean Algebra: All of properties of the logical operators which we have previously discussed can be represented using the symbols of Boolean Algebra. For example, the first DeMorgan's Law is written as (a + b)' = a' * b' instead of and the (non-boundedness) Identities are written as a + = a and a * 1 = a instead of For the record, the complete list of axioms and properties in both logical and Boolean symbols is:

Commonly, and especially in computer science and digital electronics, this term is used to mean two-valued logic . 2. This is in stark contrast with the definition used by pure mathematicians who in the 1960s introduced "Boolean-valued models " into logic precisely because a "Boolean-valued model" is an interpretation of a theory that allows more than two possible truth values! Strangely, a Boolean algebra (in the mathematical sense) is not strictly an algebra , but is in fact a lattice . A Boolean algebra is sometimes defined as a "complemented distributive lattice ". Boole's work which inspired the mathematical definition concerned algebras of set s, involving the operations of intersection, union and complement on sets. Such algebras obey the following identities where the operators ^, V, - and constants 1 and can be thought of either as set intersection, union, complement, universal, empty; or as two-valued logic AND, OR, NOT, TRUE, FALSE; or any other conforming system. a ^ b = b ^ a a V b = b V a (commutative laws) (a ^ b) ^ c = a ^ (b ^ c) (a V b) V c = a V (b V c) (associative laws) a ^ (b V c) = (a ^ b) V (a ^ c) a V (b ^ c) = (a V b) ^ (a V c) (distributive laws) a ^ a = a a V a = a (idempotence laws) a = a -(a ^ b) = (-a) V (-b) -(a V b) = (-a) ^ (-b) (de Morgan's laws) a ^ -a = a V -a = 1 a ^ 1 = a a V = a a ^ = a V 1 = 1 -1 = -0 = 1 There are several common alternative notations for the "-" or

    Extractions: then we have the equations of Boolean algebra . Before 1900 Boolean algebra really meant the juggling of equations (and neg-equations) to reflect valid arguments. In 1904 E.V. Huntington wrote a paper [1] in which he viewed Boolean algebras as algebraic structures satisfying the equations obtained from the calculus of classes. This viewpoint became dominant in the 1920's under the influence of M.H. Stone and A. Tarski. Stone was initially interested in Boolean algebras in order to gain insight into the structure of rings of functions which were being investigated in functional analysis. He wrote two massive papers, one on the equivalence of Boolean algebras and Boolean rings, and the other on the duality between Boolean algebras and Boolean spaces [= totally disconnected compact Hausdorff spaces]. Tarski studied Boolean algebras while working on the abstract notion of `closure under deductive consequence'. In the 1930's Stone proved that every Boolean algebra is isomorphic to a field of sets, and that the equations true of the two-element Boolean algebra are the same as the equations true of all Boolean algebras; and these equations were consequences of a small initial set of defining equations. What has the modern subject of Boolean algebra got to do with propositional logic? Not very much. Boolean algebra became a deep and fascinating subject in its own right, with much more to offer than a convenient notation to analyze simple chains of reasoning. Nonetheless on the level of equivalence and equations the subjects of propositional logic, calculus of classes, and Boolean algebras are essentially the same, as illustrated by the following table:

    Extractions: Sol::Tutorials Some readers of my graphics tutorials have expressed frustration... err, interest in bitwise operations, and have asked me to write a tutorial about them. Bitwise operations and, in general, Boolean algebra is rather difficult to explain in an entertaining way, but it's just one of those things that any programmer worth their salt (or dublons, or whatever) pretty much has to know by heart. Instead of being enteretaining, I try to be practical. I'll go through the basics, as well as some useful applications and tricks. Bits, bytes, words, dwords, and so on AND, OR, NOT, XOR Shifting Tricks and tips ... Further reading Computers are built on transistors, which are kind of like switches. Either electricity flows or it doesn't. On and off. One and zero. It follows from this that the very basic operations in computing are done through bits. Doing more complicated calculations requires us to use more bits. The magnitude of an unsigned integer that can be represented by N bits is easily calculated as 2

    Extractions: Previous: Return to notes A Boolean algebra is a set with two binary operations, and , that are commutative, associative and each distributes over the other, plus a unary operation . Also required are identity elements and U for the binary operations that satisfy and for all elements A in the set. One interpretation of Boolean algebra is the collection of subsets of a fixed set X . We take and U to be set union, set intersection, complementation, the empty set and the set X respectively. Equality here means the usual equality of sets. Another interpretation is the calculus of propositions in symbolic logic. Here we take and U to be disjunction, conjunction, negation, a fixed contradiction and a fixed tautology respectively. In this setting equality means logical equivalence. It is not surprising then that we find analogous properties and rules appearing in these two areas. For example, the axiom of the distributive properties says that for sets we have while is a familiar equivalence in logic. From the axioms above one can prove DeMorgan's Laws (in some axiom sets this is included as an axiom). The following table contains just a few rules that hold in a Boolean algebra, written in both set and logic notation. Rows 3 and 4 are DeMorgan's Laws. Note that the two versions of these rules are identical in structure, differing only in the choice of symbols.

It takes just a few seconds (all we need is your email address, which is shared with absolutely no one) to subscribe to the Embedded Muse My June column about Software PALs sparked quite a bit of feedback. I was struck by the number of folks with little understanding of Boolean algebra, the basis for the design of logic circuits. Every design engineer learns Boolean, but it seems few software folks master this important tool. One of my brothers is completing a Ph.D. in philosophy. I was fascinated to learn that Boolean algebra is an important trick used in the defense of philosophical ideas. True - mostly they use a somewhat less formalized version than we do, but the "Rules of Logic" are nothing more than a statement of the truths we bury into algebraic formulation. Isn't it nice that philosophers consider our basic premises, as expressed by Boolean logic, to be the basis of testing truth? Maybe what we do is quite profound and fundamental, after all. How often have you seen ten nested IF statements in C that lead to an incomprehensible conclusion if all are fulfilled? Too often the programmer gets lost in the process, creating an incorrect routine that is practically undebuggable. Boolean algebra, and the tools we use to deal with it, can help simplify, or at least document, such convoluted code.
