He based his concepts on the assumption that most quantities have two possible conditions - TRUE and FALSE. This is the same theory you were introduced to at the beginning of this chapter. Throughout our discussions of fundamental logic gates, we have mentioned Boolean expressions. A Boolean expression is nothing more than a description of the input conditions necessary to get the desired output. These expressions are based on Boole's laws and theorems. PURPOSE Boolean algebra is used primarily by design engineers. Using this system, they are able to arrange logic gates to accomplish desired tasks. Boolean algebra also enables the engineers to achieve the desired output by using the fewest number of logic gates. Since space, weight, and cost are important factors in the design of equipment, you would usually want to use as few parts as possible. Figure 2-26 (view A), shows a rather complex series of gates. Through proper application of Boolean algebra, the circuit can be simplified to the single OR gate shown in view B. Figure 2-27 shows the simplification process and the Boolean laws and theorm used to accomplish it.

A paper on this topic appears in the Journal of Automated Reasoning [W. McCune, "Solution of the Robbins Problem", JAR 19(3), 263276 (1997)]. Here is a preprint . The JAR paper has simpler proofs than the ones below on this page. Here are the input files and proofs corresponding to the JAR paper A draft of a press release , intended for a wider audience, is also available. The Robbins problem-are all Robbins algebras Boolean?-has been solved: Every Robbins algebra is Boolean. This theorem was proved automatically by EQP , a theorem proving program developed at Argonne National Laboratory. In 1933, E. V. Huntington presented [1,2] the following basis for Boolean algebra: x + y = y + x. [commutativity] (x + y) + z = x + (y + z). [associativity] n(n(x) + y) + n(n(x) + n(y)) = x. [Huntington equation] Shortly thereafter, Herbert Robbins conjectured that the Huntington equation can be replaced with a simpler one [5]:

For example, in the expression "BC + /AB + AC" the variables B and C are anded with varaibes /A and A. Therefore, the term BC is redundant.

Extractions: Computer Fundamentals Laws of Boolean Algebra 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. Laws of Boolean Algebra the basic Boolean laws. Note that every law has two expressions, (a) and (b). This is known as duality . These are obtained by changing every AND(.) to OR(+), every OR(+) to AND(.) and all 1's to 0's and vice-versa.

Extractions: Pronunciation Key Boolean algebra , an abstract mathematical system primarily used in computer science and in expressing the relationships between sets (groups of objects or concepts). The notational system was developed by the English mathematician George Boole c.1850 to permit an algebraic manipulation of logical statements. Such manipulation can demonstrate whether or not a statement is true and show how a complicated statement can be rephrased in a simpler, more convenient form without changing its meaning. In his 1881 treatise, Symbolic Logic, the English logician and mathematician John Venn interpreted Boole's work and introduced a new method of diagramming Boole's notation; this was later refined by the English mathematician Charles Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll
Boolean Algebra And Logic

http://www.iu.hio.no/data/QIC/info3/node5.html

Extractions: Thanks to Von Neumann et. al. our present day idea of computers is that of binary digital devices which perform Boolean logical operations. Such a device can simulate any computational process in principle. What remains in order to create systems which compute the results of mathematical or logical problems is the ability to combine information streams into functions which are things we want to evaluate. Modern computers are based on the use of binary data and Boolean algebra or logic. It is straightforward to show that a simple set of linearly independent operations on bits can be used to perform simple binary arithmetic, and thus more complex calculations in combination. The commonly referred to operations in Boolean algebra are the unary (1:1) operator NOT In Out and the binary (2:1) operators AND Out OR Out XOR Out In digital electronics, these are simulated using multi-transistor circuit blocks. It is easy to show that any Boolean logic operation can be constructed from the two operations AND ) and NOT ). This may be seen from the following identities:

Extractions: This book explains, in lay terms, the surprisingly simple system of mathematical logic used in digital computer circuitry. Anecdotal in its style and often funny, it follows the development of this logic system from its origins in Victorian England to its rediscovery in this century as the foundation of all modern computing machinery. ONES AND ZEROS will be enjoyed by anyone who has a general interest in science and technology.
