Explicitly, a Boolean algebra is the partial order on subsets defined by inclusion (Skiena 1990, p. 207), i.e., the Boolean algebra b A ) of a set A is the set of subsets of A that can be obtained by means of a finite number of the set operations union OR intersection AND ), and complementation NOT ) (Comtet 1974, p. 185). A Boolean algebra also forms a lattice (Skiena 1990, p. 170), and each of the elements of b A ) is called a Boolean function . There are Boolean functions in a Boolean algebra of order n (Comtet 1974, p. 186).

Next: Logic Gates Up: Digital Circuits Previous: Number Representation Boolean Algebra The binary and 1 states are naturally related to the true and false logic variables. We will find the following Boolean algebra useful. Consider two logic variables A and B and the result of some Boolean logic operation Q . We can define Q is true if and only if A is true AND B is true. Q is true if A is true OR B is true. Q is true if A is false. A useful way of displaying the results of a Boolean operation is with a truth table. We will make extensive use of truth tables later. If no ``-'' is available on your text processor or circuit drawing program an `` N '' can be used, ie. We list a few trivial Boolean rules in table Table 7.2: Properties of Boolean Operations. The Boolean operations obey the usual commutative, distributive and associative rules of normal algebra (table Table 7.3: Boolean commutative, distributive and associative rules. We will also make extensive use of De Morgan's theorems (table Table 7.4: De Morgan's theorems. Doug Gingrich Tue Jul 13 16:55:15 EDT 1999

1847 AD to 1854 AD George Boole Invents Boolean Algebra Around the same time that Charles Babbage was struggling with his Analytical Engine , one of his contemporaries, a British mathematician called George Boole, was busily inventing a new and rather cunning form of mathematics. Boole made significant contributions in several areas of mathematics, but was immortalized for two works in 1847 and 1854, in which he represented logical expressions in a mathematical form now known as Boolean Algebra . Boole's work was all the more impressive because, with the exception of elementary school and a short time in a commercial school, he was almost completely self-educated. a In conjunction with Boole, another British mathematician, Augustus DeMorgan, formalized a set of logical operations now known as DeMorgan transformations. As the Encyclopedia Britannica says: "A renascence of logical studies came about almost entirely because of Boole and DeMorgan." a In fact the rules we now attribute to DeMorgan were known in a more primitive form by William of Ockham (also known as William of Occam) in the 14th Century. In order to celebrate Ockham's position in history, the OCCAM computer programming language was named in his honor. (In fact, OCCAM is the native programming language for the British- developed INMOS transputer.)

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.

Introduction to Boolean Algebra Boolean Algebra is a way of describing a circuit in the form of a mathematical formula. While this may sound difficult, it actually isn't difficult at all. The AND function is represented by a large dot (times sign), the OR function is represented by a plus sign, and the INVERTER function is represented by a line over top of the input. This equation states that output A is equal to input B AND input C. The above symbol is the schematic symbol for an AND gate. This equation states that output D is equal to input E OR input F. The above symbol is the schematic symbol for an OR gate. This equation states that output G is equal to INVERTED H. The above symbol is the schematic symbol for an INVERTER gate. Boolean Algebra formulas do become more complicated, and can be manipulated by following specific rules that will be discussed later. These three symbols will permit us to write equations for more complicated devices. The above is a two input AND (inputs A and B) and another two input AND (inputs C and D) both going into a two input OR gate who's output is E. The lines connecting the AND gates to the OR gate aren't required if the schematic is drawn so that their outputs are directly connected to the inputs of the OR gate. The equation for the first AND gate is A*B and the equation for the second AND gate is C*D. Both of these are going into an OR gate who's output is E. Since A*B is one input to this OR gate, and the other is C*D, the equation for E becomes...

Basic Boolean Algebra Manipulation Boolean Algebra equations can be manipulated by following a few basic rules. Manipulation Rules A + B = B + A A * B = B * A (A + B) + C = A + (B + C) (A * B) * C = A * (B * C) A * (B + C) = (A * B) + (A * C) A + (B * C) = (A + B) * (A + C) Equivalence Rules A = A (double negative) A + A = A A * A = A A * A = A + A = 1 Rules with Logical Constants + A = A 1 + A = 1 * A = 1 * A = A Many of these look identical to Matrix Operations in Linear Algebra. At any rate, this permits a circuit designer to create a circuit as it comes to their mind, then manipulate the formula to generate an equivalent circuit that does the same thing but requires less space. This can be illustrated using the 5th manipulation rule. Using the rule, generating an equivalent circuit that does the exact same thing, but be less complicated, can be done with reasonable ease. In the case of CMOS, the right hand side of the formula can also be manipulated, just always remember to invert. The manipulation occurs under the invert bar. D = (A * B) + (A * C) is the same as...

Boolean Algebra 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: a set, with two special elements (0 and 1), and three operations: sum ("+"), product ("*") and complement (" ' " or "prime") which obey the Commutative Distributive Identity (not including the boundedness identities) and Complement axioms 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: the set is the set of all propositions the special elements are T (1) and F (0) the three operations are AND (product), OR (sum) and NOT (complement). 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:

Reference Library: Encyclopedia Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Boolean algebra In mathematics and computer science Boolean algebras , or Boolean lattices , are algebraic structures which "capture the essence" of the logical operations AND OR and NOT as well as the set theoretic operations union intersection and complement They are named after George Boole , an Englishman, who invented them as part of a system of logic in the mid 19th century . Specifically, Boolean algebra was an attempt to use algebraic techniques to deal with expressions in the propositional calculus Today, Boolean algebras find many applications in electronic design. They were first defined by George Boole in the middle of the 19th century and first applied to switching by Claude Shannon in the 20th century The operators of Boolean algebra may be represented in various ways. Often they are simply written as AND, OR and NOT. In describing circuits, NAND (NOT AND), NOR (NOT OR) and XOR (exclusive OR) may also be used. Mathematicians often use + for OR and . for AND (since in some ways those operations are analogous to addition and multiplication in other algebraic structures ) and represent NOT by a line drawn above the expression being negated.

Now that we can express interesting concepts using the quantifiers " " ("there exists") and " " ("for all"), how can we use them for the problem of determining whether a formula is true? Back in lowly propositional logic, we had three methods: truth tables, equivalences, and formal proofs with inference rules. How can we adapt these approaches, for first-order logic? Well, truth tables have no analog approach. With quantifiers, we don't have a finite set of propositions. Furthermore, variables can't refer to specific items in the domain until we try to interpret them. And when we do, the domain may be of any size possibly even infinite. Using a truth table on an infinite universe is clearly infeasible, but the real problem stems from how we want to be able to discuss reasoning without respect to a particular domain. However, we can add equivalences and inference rules to cope with quantifiers. After showing how to work with quantifiers, we'll come back to examine our newly-augmented systems for those desirable traits, soundness and completeness.
